Acknowledgement of Country

Sandpit respectfully works across the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin Nations, as well as the Kaurna and Yugambeh peoples. We recognise and respect their continued cultural, spiritual and technological practices.

We also extend this to all First Nations peoples across the land known as Australia and pay respects to their Ancestors and Elders past and present.

As the very first storytellers and technologists, First Nations peoples possess invaluable knowledge and perspectives that are crucial to the work that we do across both the physical and digital realms.

Timescapes

Timescapes is a unique project at the WA Museum, Boola Bardip Old Gaol site.

It’s a visually rich, creative response to the objects and items of the museum archives brought to life on the architecture of the gaol walls.

A cyclical work inspired by the six seasons of the Nyoongar year, Timescapes weaves a collection of narratives inspired by deep archaeological time and traditional Aboriginal knowledge, through colonial history, right up to modern art and technology.

Bringing together a diverse creative team including Animation Director Chris Edser, Archival Consultant Sari Braithwaite and composer Orkheomai (Brendan Woithe), Timescapes is a kaleidoscopic and mesmerising look at Western Australia, exploring its complicated social and ecological past.
