Warriors of colour pose as militant outlaws of their post-apocalypse in these fictional movie poster portraits. This tongue-in-cheek, post-apocalyptic science-fiction framing presents a relevant space to visualise and communicate Indigenous and other racialised people’s experiences of colonialism. The artist takes inspiration from friends of various socio-cultural and racial backgrounds, who were asked to propose characters, costumes, and fictional scenarios to represent themselves as survivors of their apocalypses. Juxtaposed with riotous headings, these figures are languid, stern in their power, and commemorated for their life’s work in resistance.
