Tillegra Dam Riparian Rites

Williams River Valley Artists Project (WRVAP) began in 2009 out of a conversation between artists about the proposed (and now defunct) Tillegra Dam, in the Williams River Valley, Dungog, Upper Hunter, NSW. The valley has been devastated by the impact of the dam proposal, the community fragmented and the land has fallen into a state of neglect and disrepair. There is ongoing disquiet about what the future holds. This exhibition brings together sensitive responses to the experience of the impact of the proposal and the disruption to the valley along with hope for a better future.
