MAPBM Presents 'Light & Mirrors' - a live performance by Katya Petetskaya

Presented at the historic Wentworth Falls School of Arts, Light & Mirrors is a site-responsive performance that explores the fragmented and layered histories embedded in the building and the land it occupies.

The well-documented history of the WFSOA’s use begins in 1915. Prior to that, aside from the rare and progressive fact that the land was donated by a woman, Marie Pitt, the deeper story of the site remains elusive.

Light & Mirrors explores these layered and partial histories, creating space for reflection, both literal and metaphorical, on how we engage with historical complexity. Using mirrors of varied shapes and sizes, the performer reflects fragments of the building, its architectural features, the natural surroundings, herself and the audience. These shifting reflections destabilise fixed images of the WFSOA and its landscape, offering new and unexpected ways of seeing.

This session is free but please RSVP by Friday 5 September 2025.

Katya Petetskaya will also be performing Light & Mirrors at 3:00pm on Saturday 6 September immediately after the exhibition curator/artist talk. For more details please go to https://events.humanitix.com/aerie-exhibition-curator-artist-talk
