TRACES

TRACES is an immersive installation honouring 60,000+ years of storytelling

Developed by First Nations artists and writers Kamsani Bin Salleh and Kirli Saunders with the support of Magabala Books and Google Creative Lab, TRACES asks audiences to reflect on our connection to the land that sustains us. Through artwork that gives voice to Country, TRACES illustrates yarns in real time, grounding us in the old and new, here and now, in ephemeral conversation. Audiences are invited to listen and to respond, in turn eliciting their own traces of Country.

TRACES was presented at the Sydney Opera House as part of Vivid LIVE 2022 with poetry and spoken word performances from First Nations artists Dakota Feirer, Daniel Browning, Dub Leffler, Jasmine Seymour, Kamsani Bin Salleh, Kirli Saunders, Nardi Simpson and Teela Reid, activating the artwork with their stories and songs of Country.
