  • ACMI Federation Square, Flinders St Melbourne VIC 3000 Australia (map)

Every month, we run an 'Art Walk' and invite our audiences to join us for a visit to see another creative space, art exhibition, or display - inside or outside.  Join us at ACMI this month to see How I See It: Blak Art and Film.

How I See It, curated by Kate ten Buuren (Taungurung), unveils five new commissions by:

  • Amrita Hepi (Bundjulung and Ngāpuhi) – Scripture for a smoke screen: Episode 1 – dolphin house

  • Jazz Money (Wiradjuri) – Rodeo Baby!

  • Joel Sherwood Spring (Wiradjuri) – DIGGERMODE

  • Jarra Karalinar Steel (Boon Wurrung, Wemba Wemba and Trawlwoolway) – More Than Just a Game

  • Peter Waples-Crowe (Ngarigo) – Ngaya (I am)

alongside works by:

  • Essie Coffey OAM (Murawari) – My Survival as an Aboriginal (1978)

  • Destiny Deacon (KuKu and Erub/Mer) – various works, 1992–2002

  • Steven Rhall (Taungurung) – Avert (2017)

Spanning moving image, installation, documentary, photography and video games, How I See It amplifies the artists and filmmakers’ perspectives on representation, the gaze, colonial archives and knowledge systems. These eight creators consider how First Peoples have been historically represented on our screens as they also imagine alternate realities and futures. The exhibition showcases works that use diverse materials and ideas to disrupt and reimagine, as well as expand the artists’ practice, supporting experimentation with new technologies and mediums.

Plan/meeting location:
—Start ACMI Federation Square, Flinders St, Melbourne VIC 3000 @ 9:55 am for 10:00 am entry.
—End ACMI at @ 11:00 am.
