Acknowledgement of Country

Sandpit respectfully works across the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin Nations, as well as the Kaurna and Yugambeh peoples. We recognise and respect their continued cultural, spiritual and technological practices.

We also extend this to all First Nations peoples across the land known as Australia and pay respects to their Ancestors and Elders past and present.

As the very first storytellers and technologists, First Nations peoples possess invaluable knowledge and perspectives that are crucial to the work that we do across both the physical and digital realms.

Story of Lamp

The Arts Centre asked us: How can we show off the little-known underground nooks and crannies of our building? The Story of Lamp was an interactive adventure for kids and adults through the Arts Centre’s labyrinthine corridors.

The adventure began at a humble lamp located next to an armchair in the public foyer. Each visitor received a magical book, designed by Nick Lewis. When the visitor touched their book to the lamp’s base, The Story of Lamp came to life.

Voiced by actor Tilda Cobham-Hervey, Lamp whispered to the visitor, asking them to lean in and hear her real voice for the first time. Lamp then directed visitors on a journey through the corridors. As Lamp spoke, the intensity of her light flickered in step with the pace and drama of her story.
