Djirra Binak (Reed Basket) is a dynamic sculptural installation by Murrup Biik—a public art practice led by Wurundjeri Elder Aunty Kim Wandin and Chris Joy—in collaboration with Collide Public Art Initiative

The installation will be activated with an education program for local school children. A Smoking Ceremony will be performed by Wurundjeri woiwurrung man Darren Wandin, and words from the artist will follow.

The children will then be lead in planting activity with Council bushland team members, and experience an on-Country walk.

The afternoon will involve the planting of 30 murnong (yam daisy) – a culturally significant
species for the Wurundjeri people – as a symbolic act of healing and growing partnership.

The planting will take place at the site of the ngurrak barring ‘Country’ Node, which is currently underconstruction.

The planting will form a permanent element of this site.
