3/11/2023
7pm to 9pm
Bathers Beach, Fremantle

“Kooranup, is the place beyond the horizon and past Moombaki, where the water meets the sky. It is the heavenly shore located in the far west. Our spirits final resting place in the Noongar Nyitting (Dreaming)”. – Ilona McGuire

The Fremantle Biennale’s acclaimed drone light and sound experience, First Lights, returns in 2023 with Kooranup, a sequel to the stories shared through Moombaki in 2021. This epic spectacle of light, movement and sound will again transform the night sky with 160 drones taking flight over the stage of the bilya (river) and wardan (ocean).

On this first weekend, as the saltwater laps at the shores of Bathers Beach, Tyrown Waigana will bring to life a witty reflection of an ancient story of ancestral beings and an epic battle that shaped our coastline.

This will be an Auslan Interpreter event- Bather’s Beach, Fremantle

AQUEOUS ARCHIVES
2023-11-11 16:00 - 17:30
11/11/2023
4pm
Er Pavillion (J Shed, Fremantle)
Auslan Interpreted event.
As the Port’s precinct undergoes rapid change, Aqueous Archives asks that we listen to the stories, history and knowledge that exists beneath colonial narratives.
Part alternative policy or radical map to another future, Aqueous Archives is an immersive publication moving between public installation and printed book form. The project brings together a collection of materials, ideas and narratives centring the Fremantle Port, both in its contemporary state and as a place of historical passage connecting diasporic communities to Walyalup via the Indian Ocean. Created by writers Timmah Ball and Kate Jama alongside collaborators, this project illuminates the narratives that government architecture and museums often neglect.
Through storytelling, archival activism, poetry, speculative fiction, text and paste ups, Aqueous Archives presents a counter narrative, archiving stories and futurism absent from institutions. Shedding light on un-recorded stories it asks us to consider new methods to the current government mechanisms which make decisions about the Port, land development, the ocean and migration.
With writing contributions from: Maria Osman, Haweya Ismail and Kathryn Gledhill-Tucker

On the expansive grounds at the river edge, Yabini Kickett’s offering calls us to attention within the natural landscape; from the echoing sounds of wind in the sheoaks to chirping frogs of the bilya (river), this is a story of kinship, interconnectedness and transformation.

SO ONCE YOU WERE HERE THEY HAD YOU
2023-11-12 19:00 - 20:30
12/11/2023
7pm to 8:30pm
Bathers Beach, Fremantle (Meeting point: Boardwalk in front of bathers beach)
Auslan Interpreted Event.
Close to the submerged remnants of the Fremantle Long Jetty, an immersive re-telling of arrival and separation will unfold.
So once you were here they had you is an experiential audio-visual poem to the 50 young cotton-weaver women who arrived on the shores of Walyalup, journeying by ship from Lancashire over 110 days and nights in 1863. Created by electronic music composer Rebecca Riggs-Bennett and video artist Elham Eshraghian-Haakansson, this work takes place across Bathers Beach, re-tracing the steps of the women and the many others of the “Bride Ship” era.
So once you were here they had you is a reflective honouring of the time swept experiences of these women. Cross with us into an immersive, at times ghostly, real and imagined narrative of migration, loss and departure.

“Kooranup, is the place beyond the horizon and past Moombaki, where the water meets the sky. It is the heavenly shore located in the far west. Our spirits final resting place in the Noongar Nyitting (Dreaming)”. – Ilona McGuire
The Fremantle Biennale’s acclaimed drone light and sound experience, First Lights, returns in 2023 with Kooranup, a sequel to the stories shared through Moombaki in 2021. This epic spectacle of light, movement and sound will again transform the night sky with 160 drones taking flight over the stage of the bilya (river) and wardan (ocean).
Pioneering new technology and artistic practices to share ancient knowledge, Koornaup will reveal the first stories of place across three weekends and three locations. Revealed will be a series of connected stories by artists Yabini Kickett, Cass Lynch, Tyrown Waigana, and Ilona McGuire, guided by Whadjuk Nyoongar Traditional Owners.
On the first weekend, as the saltwater laps at the shores of Bathers Beach, Tyrown Waigana brings to life a witty reflection of an ancient story of ancestral beings and an epic battle that shaped our coastline.
On the expansive grounds at the river edge, Yabini Kickett’s offering calls us to attention within the natural landscape; from the echoing sounds of wind in the sheoaks to chirping frogs of the bilya (river), this is a story of kinship, interconnectedness and transformation.
The last chapter will unfold across the ocean, on Wadjemup (Rottnest Island), with a collective offering, led by Ilona McGuire and writer Cass Lynch. This closing chapter offers a space for deep contemplation across land and water, weaving together the many stories across time, both beautiful and heartbreaking, that are held by the island.
Come, sit by the water, share in the ancient and living stories of Kooranup.
