The Lemuria forum at the Melbourne Festival

The utopian idea of Lemuria is an imaginary, submerged landscape hugging the shoreline between Australia and India. This hypothetical ‘lost land’ is the perfect framework for exploring the cultural entanglement of our relationship.

The forum explored insights by leading cultural theorists, artists, curators and writers from Australia and India who examined the complexities of working cross-regionally while speculating on a recovered continent.
