To celebrate the world's oldest living culture, the Australian embassy presents a daily screening of Star Dreaming: Aboriginal Stories In The Stars inside a dome at Bangkok Planetarium, throughout October.
The short film will take audiences on a cosmic journey as depicted by indigenous Australian elders, the world's oldest astronomers.
For more than 80,000 years, Australia's First Nations peoples have observed the sky and assigned meaning to astronomical phenomena, which informs their lore and social structures.
Star Dreaming is an epic adventure through the cosmos and the thousands of years of knowledge about the universe passed on among countless generations of indigenous Australians.
Originally produced by Accolade.art for the Australian Pavilion at the 2020 World Expo in Dubai, the show offers a rare opportunity to embark on a journey in the captivating night sky unique to Australia and experience the inspiring aboriginal practical and spiritual stories since the beginning of time.
Local audiences can immerse themselves in the tales of the First Nations peoples of Australia to learn more about their history and honour the knowledge of indigenous Australian elders, until Oct 31.
The screening starts at the beginning of each show at Bangkok Planetarium, with English narration available on every Tuesday at 10am.
The planetarium is located on Sukhumvit Road and opens Tuesday to Sunday. Entry fee is 20 baht for children and 30 baht for adults (30 baht for children and 50 baht for adults for the English round).
For bookings, call 02-391-0544 or 02-392-1773.
