Kultura Collectiva: Theatre of Memories

Next date: Friday, 28 February 2025 | 09:00 AM to 08:00 PM

Theatre of Memories is an immersive art installation that harmonises the tactile art of Batik painting with modern digital technology, creating a narrative that explores the local history of the Lake Macquarie region.

This captivating artwork is composed of three main elements, each contributing to a richly layered visual and sensory experience. "Theatre of Memories" provides a unique opportunity to explore the intersection of traditional and digital mediums, encouraging contemplation on the ways in which art can build bridges between different time periods and cultural expressions.
