“Urban Theatre Project BLAK BOX embraces the First Peoples concept of ‘deep listening’ which is based on stories and silences. It is an innovative model that encourages audiences to step inside and simply listen to sound, ideas and language from a First Peoples perspective. BLAK BOX utilises cutting-edge surround-sound equipment in an enclosed space designed to be the perfect for conversation, in this instance, an inter-generational conversation. The pavilion, glows luminously from dusk, straddling sound, creative writing, architecture and temporary public art. It is a mechanism for daydreaming and conveys, “an idea of contemporary Aboriginality”. Now playing at Barangaroo Reserve.

Experienced in Kyoto- Isetan Art museum. The Lost Thing is a humorous film about a boy who discovers a bizarre-looking creature. It is lost and he tries to find who owns it or where it belongs, but the problem is met with indifference by everyone else. Each is unhelpful in their own way; strangers, friends, parents are all unwilling to entertain this uninvited interruption to day-to-day life. The boy feels sorry for this creature and attempts to find out where it belongs. What started as an amusing nonsensical story developed into an insightful fable. Narrated by Tim Minchin.

“Ukranian artist Zhanna Kadyrova explores what we do when we take a building and restore or reimagine it. She employs recycled objects that are slightly unnerving, stiff tiled shirts hang on wooden coat hangers, their tiled fabric unapologetic. They hang silently echoing the materiality of the walls behind them. Second Hand is the project Kadyrova started in San Paulo in 2014 inspired by the widespread practice of tiling coloured walls in Brazil. She purchased second hand, decorative tiles used to cover Brazil’s local shops creating with them her signature eclectic clothing art pieces.” https://www.yellowtrace.com.au/second-hand-ceramic-clothing-from-found-ceramic-tiles-zhanna-kadyrova/
