The Murray Darling Palimpsest Symposium: Mildura, April 3 - 5, 2009

Murray Darling Palimpsest is an Australian contemporary visual arts event remarkable for its locations in distinctly regional places rather than capital cities and significant for its direct engagement with issues of environmental and social sustainability.

Land and water use are no longer background concerns, they are firmly on the front page and will increasingly affect all of us and the ways we live in this country.

Over 100 artists will address the theme of displacement and exhibit their work throughout the Basin during April 2009, with more than 40 artists exhibiting in the Mildura region as commissioned, fringe or part of the exciting initiative, The Wentworth Gaol project.

The main activities including openings, floor talks, lectures, tours, dinners and lunches take place in Mildura from 3 – 5 April.

> Tickets and package deals are available on line now.

The event involves artists and host organisations throughout the Murray Darling Basin. The theme of the 2009 event is "displacement."
