Points of view in Aboriginal photography
This exhibition features works from the Gallery’s collection that interrogate the tenuous balance between power and participation, the historical legacies of which continue to impact Indigenous Australians. Rather than providing answers, the works offer provocations. What if the figures in colonial photography were active agents rather than complacent subjects? How would we think if we looked through the eyes of Captain Cook? If Indigenous people were in the majority, how different would our nation be?
From where I stand features works by Brook Andrew, Michael Cook, Genevieve Grieves and Christian Thompson.
