NRW - Virtual Reality Galup experience (SOLD OUT)
About
In the heart of suburban Perth there's a lake with a buried history. Noongar Elder Doolann-Leisha Eatts spent her life sharing the truth of what really happened there.Lake Monger was a traditional Noongar camping and meeting place known as Galup (Kaarlup) - a place of fires. Today, thousands of people visit the lake and its iconic black swans without knowing the events that happened there or understanding the significance of this important site.
Galup VR Experience explores the transformative impact of truth-telling and brings people together for connection and healing.
Audiences are given an opportunity to sit by a virtual fire with Nan Doolann to hear about one of the first colonial massacres of Noongar people. Nan Doolann is joined by Noongar artist Ian Wilkes and his son Calven as they gently guide the audience towards an immersive understanding of Noongar culture, the impact of settler colonialism and the importance of sharing this history.
