Professional fire artists and around 70 local youths from Albany are collaborating on “Kaarla Wirren,” a performance highlighting the significance of fire in Noongar culture, set for May 16, 2026, at the Historic Whaling Station. This event, part of Albany’s bicentenary celebrations, aims to attract 1,000 attendees for an evening of picnicking and storytelling. The project, led by Southern Edge Arts, emphasizes cultural learning and community connection while providing young participants with valuable skills. Tickets are free but must be booked in advance.
