when: 10 October 2024 | venue: Science Gallery Melbourne | cost: This is a free event | address: Science Gallery Melbourne, at/114 Grattan St, Parkville 3052For this year's annual Hugh D.T. Williamson Lecture, Science Gallery Melbourne is delighted to host acclaimed Wemba-Wemba and Gunditjmara artist Dr Paola Balla and filmmaker Paola Morabito, who will discuss their collaborative process as cousins and creators of the work 'Mok Mok Murrup Yakuwa,' featured in the current 'SCI-FI: Mythologies Transformed' exhibition at Science Gallery Melbourne.
'Mok Mok Murrup Yakuwa' is an immersive film installation referencing the Wemba Wemba story of Mok Mok – a spiritual woman entity and sovereign goddess, played by the artist’s mother Aunty Margie Tang. The work is symbolic of the power of country to heal, and of matriarchal strength and resistance.
Join the artists as they take us into the fertile ground of family, relational paradigms and how ‘mythologies’ can empower our strength and resistance and remind us of how old our sovereignty is.
This event is proudly supported by The Hugh D.T. Williamson Foundation.
