The Dance of the Remediators

project description

The Dance of the Remediators is an archive of a possible future; a materialised dream sequence of people being called into action by coal’s humble living relatives. A base-camp is constructed for a revolution of intimacy, patience and vunerability. An expedition is planned to uncover dark-hard-coal’s ancestral softness. By recalling coal’s long photosynthetic memory, can we salvage the future? Here, at the edge of climate calamity, the domestic-left-over, the soft-and-slow, the fragile and care-full are made mighty. This work prototypes earnest and absurd devices, gentle megastructures and everyday actions, for remaking the world through care, play, wonder and hope.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF NGURRA

The City of the Blue Mountains is located within the Ngurra (Country) of the Dharug and Gundungurra peoples. MTNS MADE recognises that Dharug and Gundungurra Traditional Owners have a continuous and deep connection to their Country and that this is of great cultural significance to Aboriginal people, both locally and in the region. For Dharug and Gundungurra People, Ngurra takes in everything within the physical, cultural and spiritual landscape – landforms, waters, air, trees, rocks, plants, animals, foods, medicines, minerals, stories and special places. It includes cultural practice, kinship, knowledge, songs, stories and art, as well as spiritual beings, and people: past, present and future. Blue Mountains City Council pays respect to Elders past and present while recognising the strength, capacity and resilience of past and present Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the Blue Mountains region.
