Places
Lost and Found
20 October 2006,
Old Canberra House, ANU
Places Lost and Found is
a one-day event through which presenters and participants will
explore how places, once made meaningful through human occupation
and imagination, have been lost, through environmental forces,
expropriation, migration, and relocation.
But can such places be found?
In a series of performances and interactive encounters, presenters
will focus on processes of recovery and products of recollection,
including mappings, tastes, songs, images, scents, stories, poetry
and dance.
