Through multimedia storytelling, Underfoot: The Facility tells the story of carceral logics over the last 180 years and reveals whispers of resistance that still resonate today. A series of self-guided audio tours with accompanying maps, photos and annotated transcripts uncovers the unsettling stories of local institutions like the Yarra Bend Insane Asylum, and its use as a holding pen for immigrants who had outlived their years as productive workers; the Fairhaven Venereal Disease Clinic, a de facto prison for suspected sex workers; and the imprisonment of anti-Vietnam War protestors in Fairlea Women’s Prison.
