About this event

Published by Performance Research Books, Wales, and stunningly designed by Alphabet Studio with over 140 images, Telling That Story shares our journey from large-scale outdoor explorations of Kunwinjku spirit worlds to trans-disciplinary expressions of global ecological collapse and intimate dance solos on the theme of decolonization. The voices of June Oscar, Patrick Dodson, Djon Mundine, Vicki van Hout, Alison Croggan, Omid Tofighian and more are shared through essays and interviews presented alongside script excerpts, and documentation to provide a rich representation of Marrugeku’s incredible legacy.

At the launch hear from editors Helen Gilbert, Dalisa Pigram and Rachael Swain in conversation with Latai Taumoepeau as well as excerpts shared by contributors. Our magnificent commemorative publication celebrating the unique artistic and cultural journey will be launched by Marrugeku’s Patron Yawuru leader Senator Patrick Dodson.
