Experience Healing Scars, an in-development performance piece presented by Moogahlin Performing Arts and Carriageworks.

First developed at the 10th anniversary Yellamundie Festival in 2023, Healing Scars is a deeply personal exploration of First Peoples' self-healing and reconciliation. Warren Mason (Yuwalaaraay/Yorta Yorta) blends the natural sounds of his homeland, the haunting tones of his guitar, and the powerful spoken word of his people, with choreography by Jasmine Gulash (Gubbi Gubbi) and Jo Clancy (Wiradjuri).

This unique project weaves together sound, art, and movement to express cultural resilience and healing across generations.

Don’t miss this opportunity to witness this transformative work in progress, showing at Carriageworks on Fri 6 Dec.
