CCWC and RR8 are excited to be screening the "The World’s Longest City" - a contemporary documentary photo series that explores Perth’s rapid suburban expansion and its implications. As well as screening the documentary there will be a panel discussion with the film-maker Harry Cunningham, Professor of Sustainability Peter Newman, and Sally Marsh from Cockburn Community Wildlife Corridor.
Stretching over 150 kilometres from Mandurah in the south to Two Rocks in the north, Perth exemplifies the effects of urban sprawl. Photographer Harry Cunningham travelled this vast corridor, documenting the sprawling suburbs and examining the visual and environmental impacts of unchecked growth. Through symbolic urban imagery of barren streetscapes, mass-produced houses, and endless roads, the series challenges viewers to rethink Perth's everyday, often overlooked, scenes.
As an issue deeply intertwined with Perth’s identity, "The World’s Longest City" raises broader concerns about the city’s development, priorities, and long-term livability. Cunningham’s work encourages reflection on the values shaping Perth’s growth and the consequences of its current trajectory. As the City of Cockburn plans for the redevelopment of the former Roe 9 road reserve, CCWC hopes that this will be done well with sustainable housing and both liveability and the environment given priority consideration.
Tickets are $22pp
