Created by Boon Wurrung artist, Mitch Mahoney and Mutti Mutti/ Yorta Yorta and Boon Wurrung/ Wemba Wemba artist Maree Clarke, Eel Trap is a 10-metre installation made of biodegradable materials on the Maribyrnong River.

Inspired by traditional Aboriginal eel traps and made of river reeds from the local area, this installation is an example of how we might use Indigenous knowledge, science and art to continue our fight towards a sustainable future. The installation will be created by Mahoney, Clarke and the local community and then released into the Maribyrnong River.

The exhibition will be open from 31 July until 31 August, with the river launch taking place on 23 August from 6pm.

Presented in partnership with Science Gallery Melbourne as part of 2019 season, DISPOSABLE. Science Gallery Melbourne is part of the Global Science Gallery network pioneered by Trinity College Dublin.
