Kummargii Yulendj Barring Gadhaba // Projections of a Current Future

We’re pleased to publicly share with you about Kummargii Yulendj Barring Gadhaba // Projections of a Current Future, a radical public art intervention that reimagines Melbourne’s

CBD through the lens of Boon Wurrung knowledge and the enduring presence of water Country.

A collaboration between Boon Wurrung Senior Elder Professor N’arwee’t Carolyn Briggs AM, The Alliance for Praxis Research (APR) and Amina Briggs, this project disrupts the city’s colonial infrastructure by resurfacing the buried path of William’s Creek, reawakening the ancestral memory of water that still flows beneath Melbourne’s streets.

We are very proud to present this project as part of the Deadly Fringe program of 2025 Melbourne Fringe Festival, which emerges from the work being done by Praxis Lab RMIT with the support of RMIT Centre for Urban Research.

Dates and times:

• Saturday 4 October 7pm (arrival 6:45pm), approx 2 hours cycling down to the Birrarrung (BYO bike and safety gear).

• Saturday 11 October 8pm (arrival 7:45pm), approx 2.5 hours walking down to the Birrarung.

Venue: Meeting point at North Lawn at Melbourne University.

Tickets: Free, bookings required via Melbourne Fringe.

It will be amazing if you can join us to follow the eels journey beneath our feet! And we would appreciate it if you could share about this invitation through your networks.
