This week’s Jesse Cox Audio Fellowship takes us outside.
There is some change we can’t do anything about, some change that we can, and some change that feels so big that for some it’s hard to see where they fit within it.
I think the story is about how different kinds of people interpret and integrate their experience of change in a landscape that they love and know well. And I think that landscapes are more than just physical places. I think they exist in the collective imaginary made up of all the different stories and memories that many, many people hold of a place. – Tessa Campisi
View From A Mountain in Motion by Tessa Campisi
Perched on the edge of the Victorian Alps, up a long, winding road, lies an old, granite plateau which these days is known as Mt Buffalo.
Beyond its physical geography, Mt Buffalo lies someplace out there in the collective imaginary, held together by a patchwork of memory and story.
But things are changing in the Alps, and what was once known edges towards the unfamiliar.
If we look out across the arc of time, from the deep past through the present, and nudge our gaze towards the future – what do we see?
And where do we see ourselves?
