✧✧ Beverley in 𝟚𝟘𝟡𝟘... ⏳

As they wrap up their residency, Circular Economies artists Sue & Tarsh reimagines the scent of the WA Wheatbelt town of Beverley, 64 years from now.

“Water, when present, smells different. Wetlands and the deep pools of Gogulgar Bilya are rare and fragmented refuges. Around them, life concentrates, and so do smells - dense, biological, overripe. Where biodiversity persists, it does so in pockets.”

✧✧ Why, and who, we are doing this for.

Circular Economies artist Zali Morgan visits Mullewa during her residency and gravitates toward a book by Aunty Charmaine ‘Nganajungu Yagu’. This specific poem reminds Zali of why and who we are doing this for.

“Buried Deep

Buried
within

Womb
mother,
Earth

Warm
protected
flows

Powerful
energy
in and is me”

✧✧ Beverley in 2050... ⊹ ࣪ ˖⏱ ୭˚. ᵎ

In the final moments of their Circular Economies residency, Sue & Tarsh asks what Beverley will smell like in 2050, drawing on scents and stories they’ve collected to imagine a possible future.

“Deep and freshly fragrant pools are replacing formerly stagnant and stinky algal blooms. These pools are nurtured by the locals as infant oases in the face of the oncoming drought and heat. Insects, fish, crustaceans and rakali are starting to re-emerge. New assemblages begin to form. Old scents reappear.”

✧✧ This Boodja serves as a vessel.

Circular Economies artist Zali Morgan returns to Carnamah for the final leg of her residency, reflecting on stolen land and its memories.

“Now a barren landscape, used many times over and over again to fulfil the Crown’s needs.
Left to dry out, depleted and exhausted, this Boodja continues to serve as a vessel.
A vessel to carry resources for crops, farms, mines.
But also a vessel to carry story, truth, and culture.”
