The Echoes Project is an ongoing collaborative project, creating contemporary ritual in response to urban sites in Australia.
Ria Soemardjo and Janette Hoe draw from personal connections to Malaysian-Chinese and Indonesian ceremonial traditions.
The Echoes Project 2018 : The Seafarer's Welcome, Mapping Melbourne Festival
A journey through the Mission to Seafarers site - a sanctuary for seafarers for the last 100 years and a symbol of old world generosity amidst the rapidly shifting landscape of the Docklands. The Echoes Projects artists evoke fragments of stories embedded in this site through mesmerising live soundscapes, movement and imagery.
