Where Stone Meets Sky – Panel Discussion

Join exhibiting artists Alvin Darcy and Brodie Ellis for a panel discussion with local Dja Dja Wurrung elder Uncle Rick Nelson and Maxine Briggs (Taungwurrung, Yorta Yorta) as they talk about the exhibition Where Stone meets Sky.

The Where Stone Meets Sky installation concept was developed by two local Castlemaine artists, Alvin Darcy (Yorta Yorta and Taungurung, Ngarigo and Walbunja) and Brodie Ellis working in parallel. This project involved creating two independent installations to be exhibited in dialogue while researching the Leanganook/Mt Alexander mountain site on Djaara Country in Central Victoria.

The parallel practice approach acknowledges the urgency of environmental concerns and the need to work together toward ecosystem care and interspecies adaptation. This exhibition positions itself at the intersection of decolonial practice, environmental advocacy, and contemporary art, working toward more sustainable and equitable approaches to artistic engagement with Country.
