FUTURE COUNTRY celebrates land, legacy, community and cultural continuity. In response to the exhibition’s key themes of ancestral memory, re-storying, truth-telling and future- making, participating artists have created deeply personal, culturally significant and innovative works that engage Indigenous futures and envision alternative realities. Spanning weaving, photography, sculpture, possum-skin- cloak making, moving image, sound and design, the eight new commissions explore non-linear notions of time, honour intergenerational knowledge, and convey embodied and relational understandings of place. Featuring artists Yhonnie Scarce & Paul House.
Each of the artists share an empowering message affirming the strength, resilience and sovereignty of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, languages, and cultures past, present and future. Presented together in FUTURE COUNTRY, the artists collectively reflect the dynamism and depth of contemporary First Nations art and design by emerging practitioners.
