From the Western Desert to Cape York, traditional ways are being reshaped in contemporary Australian society. While government policies struggle to deal with the impact of white fella culture on the lives of Indigenous people, remote communities are turning to film as a tool to document and share their knowledge and their culture.

A composition graduate from the Victorian College of the Arts, Kristin has found her voice in the form of a cello and a loopstation.

In this premiere performance, music and moving images combine to entice audiences on a mesmerising journey through contrasting emotional landscapes; of places both known and unknown, real and imagined.

The moving images for this performance are the result of an Aphids’ Remote Sense residency and mentoring program, in collaboration with Punctum and filmmaker Paul Fletcher.
