Assemble softly, listen closely and compose the park otherwise.

You’re invited to take part in a work-in-progress showing of Soft Assembly, the result of Cassandra Tytler’s Know Thy Neighbour #4: Gestures residency, with sound by Mary Rapp.

The work was developed through experiential mapping with Burswood Parkrun participants, conversations with researchers and ecologists, and research into how this place has been mapped, claimed and transformed over time.

Soft Assembly explores Burswood Park as a place composed of overlapping histories, movements and ecological relationships unfolding across different timeframes and sensory worlds. The work offers multiple ways of understanding and engaging with the park through moving image, sound, movement and collective composition.

Three participatory sessions will begin at 8.40am, 9.05am and 9.30am and run for approximately 20–25 minutes. Please register for your preferred starting time.

Participants will be invited to move slowly across the grass and interact with the work, so comfortable shoes are recommended. You are also welcome to attend and observe without taking part.

Photography and videography will occur at this event.

Date: Saturday 31 October
Times: 8.40am, 9.05am and 9.30am
Location: Meet on the grass opposite Gate D of Optus Stadium: https://maps.app.goo.gl/J4DNFND3NmUraetN6

We recommend allowing time to find the nearest parking available if driving. If catching the bus or the train, Perth Stadium Train Station and Bus Stop are the closest public transport locations to the site.

This project is commissioned by SPACED and Town of Victoria Park as a part of Know Thy Neighbour #4: Gestures.
