Museum Climate Change Activation
(Victorian First Nations-specific opportunity)
Do you have an idea for an exhibition, installation or other activity that relates to climate change or environmental issues? As part of the Burrinja Climate Change Biennale, Yarra Ranges Council is looking for an exhibition or activation that will occupy The Box Gallery at Yarra Ranges Regional Museum, to be experienced by visitors to the museum throughout summer (early December to late February).
Recognising that First Nations people have vital knowledges and perspectives to bring to the environmental crisis, this is an opportunity for a Victorian-based Indigenous artist or artistic team. The successful proposal will be funded up to $5000 (+gst).
