Sensing Ecologies: A gentle adventure
Sat, 15 Mar 2025 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM AEDT
EPA will facilitate a walking adventure at Monmar/Point Nepean, observing this complex biocultural landscape through the senses. Audience-participants’ experience will shift between a guided walk, participatory workshop and occasional site-responsive performances by the EPA.
Lean against a Moonah tree, explore textures and smells of foliage, observe the effects of wind upon the body and the environment, listen to sounds near and far, imagine pasts and futures of this layered place…
The workshop offers participants a memorable and fun experience that encourages connection with local ecologies through sensory encounter, listening and witnessing.
EPA artists have been informed by Bunurong Knowledge Holders, ecologist Gidja Walker, and Parks Victoria staff during their Police Point AiR residencies on Bunurong and Boon wurrung Country at Monmar.
Accessibility – All ages welcome, if you can listen quietly!
Kids under 14 must be accompanied by an adult. Please note, although it will not be a long walk, some tracks are not wheelchair accessible, some are undulating and occasionally steep.
Meeting point: Police Point Shire Park car park, Franklands Drive, Portsea.
Please plan to arrive early to give yourself time to park and join the group. There are public toilets near this car park.
Please dress for an outdoor experience, mindful of the weather, and bring water.
