Esquisse 01
Week one esquisse required us to visit the Melbourne Museum. At the museum we were to explore the First Peoples Tour: Bunjilaka; and listen and explore the many artefacts on display (audible and visual). Tasked to select two physical artefacts and one non-artefact (audio/video) and to then extract the key inspiring features of the selected items and turn those inspirations into a paper maquette. I attended the exhibition and spent a considerable amount of time wandering through the many displays and

However, due to having just moved cities I wasn’t prepared to complete the first esquisse. I did however complete the RMIT indigenous orientation task and locate which language groups land I currently reside on. Unfortunately, my photos of the museum trip were lost on my broken phone, but the memories and experience heavily remain on my mind.
