Reimagining Perth's Lost Wetlands

Abstract

A major outcome of a multi-disciplinary collaboration with the City of Perth and Landgate (WA), the exhibition visualised the network of Perth's wetlands which existed prior to colonisation in 1827. A digital model was the centre piece of the interpretive exhibition which invited viewers to reimagine Perth. Using imagery, colonial newspapers and literature, nature writing, poetry and historical and cultural scholarship, a series of interpretive panels was designed, which depicted elements of Perth's wetland history. Physical Exhibition, 21st September - 9th October, 2014
