Description
The watery landscapes that once characterised the south-eastern shore of Port Phillip Bay, Boon Wurrung Country, were gradually filled, piped underground, drained or built over through a process of colonial urbanisation. But water must always flow and ecologies find remarkable ways to survive, even underground.Join Monash's Laura Harper and Catherine Murphy for a discussion panel, followed by an interactive sound and AR experience of Rippon Lea Estate in Elsternwick to explore the hidden and underground water narratives which underpin this well-known colonial site. Hear from geographers, anthropologists and planners to discuss how we can learn from Country, the importance of hearing these stories to protect the vulnerable hybrid natural/artificial/cultural water ecologies under our cities, and how we can leverage creative practice and innovations in AR technology to help us do this.
