The future is known [Firstdraft Depot, Woolloomooloo]

WHEN: Saturday February 25th 5pm - 8pm
WHERE: Firstdraft Depot 13-17 Riley Street Woolloomooloo

There is a Russian expression ‘the future is known, it’s the past that’s always changing’ How people remember time and place is often determined by fragments. Individuals remember their part in the whole.

Often that part is remembered to suit the present and changes over time. By bringing people from a specific time and place together The future is known will be an opportunity to re-remember the past anew, to bring together some of those fragments into a temporary present that will again feed and change the past.

Madeleine Preston’s residency workshop for Firstdraft’s Depot will attempt to remember a city and a state of mind through an exchange of work and stories about a particular time and place.

Artists, film makers, musicians and anyone with a memory of Darlinghurst, Woolloomooloo and inner Sydney in the 1980s have been asked to submit work for one night and to participate in a night of exchange.

The evening will include art, photography, graphics, film, and sound work and compilation tapes from:
