Description In Bhoomi, a collective of musicians, dancers and writers weave ancient texts, myths and traditions into a recital exploring our connection to old and new homelands. Curated by Arjunan and Indu, the work examines the way ancient artistic practices migrate and become part of the culture of new communities. The performance honours our First Nations peoples and their relationship with Country. Collaborating with Aboriginal author and historian Bruce Pascoe, Bhoomi explores how stories across countries converge, to create shared cultural narratives.
