BRIGHT TO POREPUNKAH
Theme: Ever New
'Ever New' captures the restorative feeling of the Alpine Shire region, and celebrates the cyclical, seasonal rhythms that continuously renew people and landscapes. It speaks to the unique, interconnected ecosystem of the region, shining a light on the rare and often unseen species that all this place home.
EUROBIN STATION
Theme: True Horizons
Based on the symposium inspired concept 'infinite horizons', 'True Horizons' captures the sweeping mountain vistas of the area, and plays with the notions of scale and openness. Importantly, it encourages reflection on what the horizon might look like today if First Nations people had not been denied their opportunity to thrive as they had done here for thousands of years.
