Frontier History: Flow of Voices 2
Date
22 May 2014 - 5 July 2014
Place
The Cross Art Projects, 8 Llankelly Place, Kings Cross, Sydney, 2011, Australia
Description

Flow of Voices is a unique two-part exhibition on contemporary art, settler colonialism and mining in the southwest Gulf of Carpentaria in the Northern Territory of Australia. Garawa and Yanyuwa artists compare the brutality of the colonial frontier with ongoing settler colonialism and large-scale developments such as mining. Without proper respect for people and country, racial heirarchies and 'imperial’ attitudes persist
