Undercurrent: Peta Clancy
Koorie Heritage Trust
Melbourne, VIC
Role: Curatorial Manager, Curator, and Publication Editor
During a 12-month residency, Bangerang artist Peta Clancy collaborated with the Dja Dja Wurrung community to research, develop and create a major series of large format landscape photographs responding to a massacre site on Dja Dja Wurrung Country. Using cutting and layering techniques, Clancy’s works reveal the emotional and cultural scars left in the landscape by frontier violence, which has been historically and physically covered by subsequent colonial occupation.
The exhibition featured 8 new photographic works, a 30 metre wallpaper installation, and recorded soundscape with Dja Dja Wurrung community members Mick Bourke and Amos Atkinson.
