Cape Schanck kangaroo update

VOLUNTEER group Save the Kangaroos says discussion “is ongoing” for the early release of the 500-plus kangaroos trapped on private property at Cape Schanck. Spokesperson Mary Waterman said the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning had agreed that no permits were required if oneway gates were put in place to allow the kangaroos to leave the property of their own volition. “Discussion is now occurring between the people involved and we hope to see this safe form of release happening very soon, returning the kangaroos to Greens Bush,” she said. “We are very anxious that the release of the kangaroos is at their pace, gentle and will not place any adults or joeys at risk as wildlife experts have advised that even slow herding may cause the kangaroos to become stressed and injured if jumping into fences.” Meanwhile, a screening of the ‘Kangaroo a love hate story’ movie will be held at 7pm today, Tuesday 29 March, at Peninsula Cinema Rosebud. There will be a question-andanswer session with the co-director Mick McIntyre and cast member Greg Keightley after the viewing.

Roadside art a sign a symbol of indigenous journey THE first piece of art in a ‘Billboards’ tour of Victoria by Indigenous artists is being presented by Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery and on show at 2061 Frankston-Flinders Road, Hastings, until 8 May. Mixed-cultural, First Peoples multidisciplinary artist Lisa Waup, along with artists Amrita Hepi, and Steven Rhall, have been commissioned to create new works for ‘Billboards’ in regional Victoria in partnership galleries.

lery) to explore the power and peril of the directional sign and its ability to control, repress and disorientate First Peoples on their own land”. By reappropriating and reassembling roadside signs, Waup removes their directional value, leaving behind only their symbolic meaning. By stripping these directives of their context and authority, Waup believes what remains is their sociohistorical legacies, prompting viewers to question the way in which land is navigated and by whose decry. Waup’s studio-based practice involves the creation of objects which, through symbology and materials, connect her to family, Country, his-

tory and story. Lisa works across weaving, printmaking, photography, sculpture, textiles and installation, eloquently illustrating her life’s journey through discovery and connection. Curator Jenna Rain Warwick says while a roadside might not be the first place to look for contemporary art, and that at first Waup’s work may seem understated, further viewing reveals the “pastiche beckons to be decoded, a deciphering that talks to the history of land ownership and the insidious control of colonial authority”. The exhibition is supported by the Victorian government through Creative Victoria.

Victoria, an Australia Council for the Arts initiative to create a national network of visual arts touring, aims to ensure contemporary art continues to reach audiences. For the first billboard, Waup’s work Journeyed considers the significance of the ubiquitous roadside sign. The artist said she wanted to make people think about place and land, given that signs direct movement on the “unceded sovereign lands” of First Peoples, and whose authority they rely on. Waup says Journeyed is part of an ongoing series titled Our Way, that “spans various media (printmaking, sculpture, photography and jewel-
