New Anthems invites participants to play with our foundational texts via SMS. The final interactive telephonic cut-up by Inkahoots offers Banjo Patterson’s Waltzing Matilda for renovation.
After rewriting the official national anthem and Dorothea Mackellar’s poem “My Country”, pedestrians can now have a fiddle with the ‘other’ national anthem. “And he _______ as he sat and _______ by the billabong”. Visit the installation in Shopfront windows.
Invent and critique expressions of national identity and contribute to a collectively generated public artwork. Visit http://www.judithwrightcentre.com/newanthems to see a list of real-time contributions.
