Indigenous-led design students represent Australia at Prague Quadrennial

Jacob Nash is representing Australia and leading VCA students at the world's largest festival of scenography, performance and theatre design.

For the first time ever, an Indigenous-led group will represent Australia at the prestigious 2023 Prague Quadrennial of Performance Design and Space (PQ, 8-18 June), described as ‘the Olympics of stage design’.

Nash worked on Page’s films and was production designer on the ABC’s Indigenous sci-fi series Cleverman.

‘This design invites audiences to step into a sacred space, not as observers but as participants, exploring spaces where ancient and contemporary cultures collide. The exhibition is a provocation asking people from around the world to think about their home, their connection to it and its First Peoples, and to consider what the land felt like, looked like and sounded like before people arrived.’
