Tracks of the Unseen - Roads to Cultural Gatherings Panel Discussion

Hear from Jay Milera, Max Mackinnon and Paul Gazzola in this discussion about Tracks of the Unseen, moderated by Lester-Irabinna Rigney. This Narungga-led project is more than a documentary – it is an evocative pilgrimage, a poetic unfolding into the hidden pathways of Australia’s rich Aboriginal footprint, illuminating a legacy nearly erased by colonial shadows. The film breathes life into faded tracks, retracing the ancient connections between neighbouring nation groups and the re-emerging presence of the Nantawarra, a once-lost fifth nation now being remembered through the stories of our Elders. Tracks of the Unseen is an unyielding reminder that Narungga culture is not lost, merely awaiting recognition, respect and revival. The first part of this evolving documentary screened as part of the closing weekend celebrations of Tarnanthi 2025. Tracks of the Unseen is part of Projects of the Everyday, a South Australian artist-commissioning initiative of OSCA (Open Space Contemporary Arts).

TRAILER

Introducing the Dangerously Modern podcast

At the turn of the twentieth century, an unprecedented wave of women artists left Australia to travel to Europe in pursuit of modern art, forging international careers and exhibiting widely at the salons and academies in London and Paris. These women embraced modern ideas and achieved creative and professional success abroad, yet many remain little known in Australia. In fact, they were mostly ignored by art historians for decades. In this series, we look at three fascinating artists who individually broke new ground. Inspired by the exhibition Dangerously Modern: Australian Women Artists in Europe 1890–1940, this podcast is hosted by arts journalist Rosa Ellen and features AGSA Associate Curator of Australian Art Elle Freak and Curator of Australian Art Tracey Lock as well as other contributors and insiders. Music from Margie Jean Lewis and Blue Dot Sessions.
