VAR Preview: 'Behind The Scenes' remembers the ANZACs

18 April 2019

A bit of a special show for Easter and Anzac Day this week.

Last year, at the North Melbourne Arts House’s Mere Mortals festival, there was a fascinating piece of installation performance - Vigil/Wake - which explored the themes of death and grieving.

The creative team behind that and a number of other works examining the things we often don’t speak about is Peta Murray, Rachel Burke and Jane Murphy.

This week we’ll sit down with them for an extended chat about their rather unique way of working together.

Then, we visit the Shrine of Remembrance in Melbourne to meet Jean McAuslan, who takes us down into the bowels of the grand old monument where the foundations have been turned into galleries.

Jean walks and talks us through two of the four exhibitions that are showing during this year’s Anzac Day commemorations.

That’s all on this week’s Behind the Scenes, with Chris Thompson, right here on Vision Australia Radio.
