Sarah Rodigari’s This Must Be the Place explored rural utopian visions in Hopetoun/Ravensthorpe through walking interviews, culminating in Hearsay, a performance linking past narratives and speculative futures amid climate and regional challenges.

This Must Be the Place connected a series of utopian visions as defined by the communities situated in Hopetoun/Ravensthorpe in remote Western Australia. Sarah’s project considered the idea of utopia as a matter of perspective – a continuously disappearing horizon between the present and the future. Conducted through a series of walking interviews, Rodigari looked to address how rural utopian ideals of sustainability (social, economic, cultural, historical, environmental) inform the making of place, in light of climate change and within our history of colonial-settler Australia.

At the end of her six weeks, Sarah presented a humorous, poetic and insightful performance script, Hearsay, back to the community, based on the interviews and conversations she’d undertaken. The performance connected past narratives with speculative futures against present realities of mining, farming, drought, and flood. Presented as part of: Spaced 4 Residency, Rural Utopias, International Art Space, Perth, 2020.

A narrow gap in a drystone wall or rock face ie one a fat man would be foolish to try to get through. A number exist in the Lake District bearing that specific name but it is also a general term in Cumbria for any narrow gap.
