Bimblebox 153 Birds is currently on show at The Centre Beaudesert as part of their Feathered exhibition from 11 January – 5 February, 2022.
Bimblebox 153 Birds is a unique installation of artist prints, poetry, prose and musician’s birdcall interpretations. More than 450 contributing artists, writers and musicians from around the world have been inspired by the birdlife of the threatened Bimblebox Nature Refuge.
Located in central-western Queensland’s Galilee Basin, the Bimblebox Nature Refuge is a dynamic 8,000 hectares of never-been-cleared woodland that exists on the eastern edge of the Desert Uplands bioregion. Although protected in perpetuity by a Nature Refuge Agreement, it is not protected from, and is consequently threatened by, coal mining.
Bimblebox 153 Birds surrounds you with the birds of Bimblebox within a soundscape of poetry, prose and musician’s bird call interpretations. This is the story of our birds, how we experience them and sadly how we may lose them.
