Bundian Way: Forgetting
In 2019 the ANU School of Art & Design hosted its inaugural Bundian Way Art Exchange project.
A field work project between Canberra community participants and regional indigenous and non-indigenous communities in the areas along the Bundian Way, a ‘shared historic pathway used by Aboriginal people for tens of thousands of years, linking Mount Kosciusko with Twofold Bay on the Far South Coast of NSW’.
Time was spent walking, looking and listening. It starts with the road trip, the postcard view of the road, to witnessing hidden forestry processes, to looking at the bush/forest with eyes that are trying to penetrate the chaos of 200 years of colonisation, unceeded lands, and the power of forgetting what is not in front of you.
