CODE - SWITCH

Curated by Moorina Bonini and Tyson Campbell

EXHIBITED AT BLAK DOT GALLERY AS PART OF CRITICAL MASS FRINGE FESTIVAL 2019

This exhibition situates itself at the intersection of Indigenous knowledge, exchange and embodiment. 

Alternative knowledge systems are currently gaining cultural capital, and we are witnessing the art academy actively courting Indigenous knowledge systems into its fold as a form of “decolonising”. We might ask: is it decolonising or recolonising? To decolonise is a continued project of the Anglo-Celtic value system. Therefore, it is imperative to ask: who benefits from the labour of such research?

We are interested in how alternative knowledge systems can be employed beneficially in artistic research, while considering the implications and ethics in the turn towards Indigenous knowledge systems within the art academy.
