Street Serenades: At Our Place

Shellie Morris sings in more than 20 Aboriginal languages from the nations of this country. Join her to create a new song born from the lived experience of people living in the Acacia Ridge community and honouring those who have cared for the land since the dawn of time. Participants will be part of a collaboration that creates lyrics and a composition of a new creative work. Where appropriate and desired, Aboriginal languages may be used in the creation of the new work, in consultation with custodians of the language/s.

Tuesday 14, Wed 15 and Thurs 16 Sept: 4.30pm – 6pm
Friday 17 Sept: 12.30pm – 2pm
Cancelled: 20, 21, 22, 23 Sept
