The inaugural RISING festival – a multi-disciplinary art and cultural extravaganza - is set to descend on Naarm (Melbourne) Wednesday, and is being billed as the biggest artistic event hosted in Naarm since the COVID-19 pandemic struck. Internationally acclaimed and award-winning Naarm-based Gamilaroi artist Reko Rennie will premiere commissioned work Initiation OA , a large-scale three channel video work that speaks to the practice of initiation from an urban Aboriginal context.’ This deeply reflective and visually stunning multi-disciplinary work sees Rennie present modern-day men s initiation, returning to his place of birth in the west of Naarm, ‘making his mark, then leaving again.’
