Experience a profound photographic exhibition by Peta Clancy, who engages deeply with Country and its histories through her work. This series invites visitors to reflect on the memory, knowledge, and powerful stories embedded in the land, moving beyond traditional landscape photography.
The exhibition is a collaboration with Dja Dja Wurrung Traditional Owners and the Koorie Heritage Trust, offering a respectful and thoughtful dialogue about colonial history and its ongoing impact.
Visitors can expect to see evocative images that challenge colonial representations and celebrate cultural connection and care for Country.
The exhibition features the series "Undercurrent number 4 (2018-19)" by Peta Clancy, presented courtesy of the artist and Dominik Mersch Gallery. It is part of a broader celebration of Heidelberg School masterpieces on long-term loan from the National Gallery of Australia.
The photographic work was developed through a residency with the Koorie Heritage Trust and is inspired by historical events documented in the Victorian Aboriginal Massacre Map.
This event is free to attend and suitable for parents interested in cultural heritage and art that fosters understanding of Australia's history.
