Colonies in Conflict - Student project

The stimulus for our tribe is the beauty and fragility of the Great Barrier Reef, an environment at the mercy of both the natural and political climate. We will focus on human interaction with this vast coral colony since Australia’s colonisation. The costumes are based on silhouettes documenting the first 150 years of European settlement in Australia created in ocean colors, which are then encrusted with coral.
