Hym(e)nals
A new film installation by Tina Stefanou at Mission to the Seafarers Norla Dome.

Underneath a dark sky six teenage girls ride horses while whispering, laughing, and humming. They are draped in luminescent skins, navigating new senses, while riding into unknown futures and songs.

Live music performances from 7pm each night:

Thursday the 3rd of Nov: Rebecca Jensen and Genevieve Fry

Friday the 4th of Nov: Khyaal Vocal Ensemble

Saturday the 5th of Nov: Deborah Kayser and Nick Tsiavos

This work was made, and presented on the unceded lands, of the Wurundjeri and Boon Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation on which I work and live, and recognise their continuing connection to multispecies collaboration, voice, land, song, water and community. I pay respect to Elders past, present and emerging and to all First Nations people.
