Melina Ey
"We recognise that the decommissioning of the Liddell power station is a significant moment in the lives of many in the region, and we value the opportunity to use creative practice and storytelling to facilitate both reflection on what has past, but also, on what the future of this place might also hold."
Approach
As part of Melina's LiddellWorks residency in collaboration with Penny Dunstan, Melina will use storytelling to foreground the value of unique places like Liddell for those who know them and care for (and with) them, and in imagining and enacting hopeful futures.
