Founded in 1984 and based on the Port River, Yartapuulti, Kaurna Yerta in Port Adelaide, South Australia, Vitalstatistix is an organisation that brings art and community together through performance, residencies, projects, events, talks, exhibitions, festivals and collaborations. This project draws on archival images recording of the co-founders Margie Fischer, Ollie Black and Roxxy Bent - and others - Alongside sounds from the 100-year-old Waterside Workers Hall and the resident choir, and the nearby Port River to reflect on the feminist histories, creative labour and collective action.
