The Red Centre's nationally acclaimed and visually spectacular Aboriginal light festival, Parrtjima - A Festival in Light, will for the first time ever deliver a taste of its extraordinary, immersive light installations outside of the Territory.
Travelling to Melbourne's Federation Square for two nights only, Parrtjima will present its Grounded installation from March 10-11, while this year's festival will take place in Alice Springs from 7-16 April.
Grounded transforms Indigenous artworks and stories into a large-scale animated sequence that is projected onto the ground, accompanied by an immersive, atmospheric soundscape.
A vibrant, seamless canvas projected on Country in Alice Springs (Mparntwe), Grounded encourages people (especially kids!) to interact with the installation, to step in and become a piece of the stunning art, and discover the Dreamtime stories and songlines presented by the artists.
The Grounded activation in Federation Square will feature artworks from Parrtjima 2019 and 2022, to give Melbourne crowds a taste of what they can experience at the iconic Red Centre light festival.
