For the past three years, First Lights, a small yet visionary site-responsive contemporary arts festival has been working with First Nations storytellers and custodians to bring their stories of Country to life on what is arguably the world’s most sacred canvas – the open-air night sky.
‘First Lights is very much like producing a short film,’ Mùller says. ‘There are so many people involved in it across so many areas – both technical and artistic.’
