Hear from Jay Milera, Max Mackinnon and Paul Gazzola in this discussion about Tracks of the Unseen, moderated by Lester-Irabinna Rigney. This Narungga-led project is more than a documentary – it is an evocative pilgrimage, a poetic unfolding into the hidden pathways of Australia’s rich Aboriginal footprint, illuminating a legacy nearly erased by colonial shadows. The film breathes life into faded tracks, retracing the ancient connections between neighbouring nation groups and the re-emerging presence of the Nantawarra, a once-lost fifth nation now being remembered through the stories of our Elders. Tracks of the Unseen is an unyielding reminder that Narungga culture is not lost, merely awaiting recognition, respect and revival. The first part of this evolving documentary screened as part of the closing weekend celebrations of Tarnanthi 2025.Tracks of the Unseen is part of Projects of the Everyday, a South Australian artist-commissioning initiative of OSCA (Open Space Contemporary Arts).For more information vi
