One Night Only In Footscray

November 06, 2017

Unfamilar Noises explores the inevitable truths of gentrification of Footscray and the rapid shifts of globalisation. This performative installation strives to find moments of stillness in our ambitious search for peace and wonder if it can be achieved from our yearning for creature comforts. A citizen of Footscray negotiates how to interpret her ever-changing surroundings.

  • Date & Time:

  • Friday, November 24, 2017

  • 5:00pm  9:00pm

  • Maddern Square, Chambers Street Footscray, Melbourne, Australia.

Observe two realities of her housing future, both “artists’ impressions” inspired by the fast paced real estate developments. Embark on an intimate journey in Unfamiliar Noises, devised by Jonathan Homsey, performed by Alix Petah, sound by Architecture of Audio and produced by Chantal Wynter.
