Forest Signals - Project (Vic)Toria

2024 Project (Vic)Toria Unit 3 - Forest Signals Unit 4 will creates speculative worlds that explore Victoria's relationship with her arboreal residents. This unit will investigate the history, significance, and prospective futures of these landscapes, speaking with experts and spending a day amidst the mountain ash rainforests, logging sites and plantations of Toolangi state forest. Working through Unreal Engine and narrative writing, students will create artifacts that immerse audiences in a specific moment of our forests' pasts or futures. These will be rendered works of speculative fiction that aim to lay bare the roots of our society's present-day and potential relationships with forest ecosystems.
