Description

How can stories, knowledge and care for Country help us to see to see Country differently?  

As part of the Yagan Mia Djinanginy exhibition, this panel discussion brings together Ian Wilkes, Noongar theatre-maker, dancer and performer, and a special guest from Bibbul Ngarma Aboriginal Association to share how caring for urban bushland, rivers, and waterways creates cultural maps and strengthens connections while restoring the health of Country.  

Through stories of cultural, ecological, and community-led projects, the discussion will peel back the layers of the familiar landscape, revealing the enduring knowledge, relationships, and histories that continue to shape the places we live. 

The Yagan Mia Djinanginy exhibition at the Wireless Hill Museum will be open late on the day of History in Conversation.

This event is part of Melville Storylines Festival 2026. To view the full program, visit melvillecity.com.au/storylines
