photo of me at the opening of my survey exhibition Between You and Me back in February @mprg_vic closing soon on April 30th. If you’re an artist whose gallery experiences resemble this image, especially if your work features your own body, and would share your experiences with me, for anonymous possible project or just for mutual support, please private message me. Just kidding about the image, it’s a detail of a work in the show, ‘Immigration’ (2014) about impacts of White Australia policies, my family arriving to (the lands colonially known as) Australia, on after their dissolution. Some of the bottle tops depict a ‘White Australia – Australia for the Australians’ medallion made by Australian Natives Association (not a First Nations org, ‘natives’ = born white in ‘Australia’). Others are adaptations, humorously alluding to overt as well as covert racisms in today’s ‘Australia’ (detail next post). #whiteaustralia #whiteaustraliapolicy #ongoinglegacies #systemicracism #immigration #subjectivehistory #australiannativesassociation
