Maria ghost
Date
1997
Place
Experimental Art Foundation, Adelaide, SA
Description

The 'Maria’ was a ship wrecked on the south Australian coast in 1840, amongst the eerie landscapes that surround the mouth of the Murray and the Coorong. This event and the site at which it took place (and the hidden narratives of the fate of the passengers and crew, and the hospitality of the Ngarrindjeri people) were the catalyst for the show.
