Six Moments in Kingston is a multidisciplinary public art project unfolding across the City of Kingston, led by six contemporary artists with  over 200 local participants. Six extraordinary local stories drawn from the period 1976-1981 form the genesis of six installations, each set in the site of the original story. The project is experienced via a public art bus tour, with on-board broadcasts and the occasional stop to interact with the artworks. Artists are drawing from multiple arts disciplines including performance, video, animation, sculpture, music, textile art and craftivism.

 Stories:

• The mysterious disappearance of pilot Fred Valentich and his plane following sightings of a UFO
• The story of Julie Cooper, Moorabbin’s first female mayor
• A celebration of local Parkdale rocker Rick Springfield’s worldwide number one hit, Jessie’s Girl
• Two local protests that mirrored national and international protest movements
• The infamous headbutting incident between troubled VFL footballer Phil Carman and umpire Graeme Carbery
• And the contentious demolition of historic manor, The Grange

Artists: Field Theory, Laresa Kosloff, Shane McGrath, Spiros Panigirakis, Steve Rhall, Tal Fitzpatrick
