Whilst some artists turn colonial erasure back on itself, others celebrate the reclamation of language. Artists: Uncle Brian McKinnon, Fiona Foley, Jazz Money, Jenna Lee, Kait James, Karla Dickens, Mia Boe and Peter Waples-Crowe. Curated by Sarah Werkmeister and Katie Ryan. <a href="https://arts.darebin.vic.gov.au/Arts-venues/Bundoora-Homestead-Art-Centre/Exhibitions/Hootan-Heydari-Remembering-to-Forget" title="https://arts.darebin.vic.gov.au/Arts-venues/Bundoora-Homestead-Art-Centre/Exhibitions/Hootan-Heydari-Remembering-to-Forget" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Remembering to Forget </a>| Hootan HeydariHeydari’s new exhibition examines history, place and memory. Photographs of personal significance are transferred onto plaster, a material rich in the symbolism of fragility, strength, healing, and domesticity. These are arranged across the floor; you can feel them cracking under foot, symbolising the inevitable erosion of memory. <a href="https://arts.darebin.vic.gov.au/Arts-venues/Bundoora-Homestead-Art-Centre/Exhibitions/Sammaneh-Pourshafighi-You-Me-and-Everything-Around-Us" title="https://arts.darebin.vic.gov.au/Arts-venues/Bundoora-Homestead-Art-Centre/Exhibitions/Sammaneh-Pourshafighi-You-Me-and-Everything-Around-Us" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">You, Me and Everything Around Us</a> | Sammaneh PourshafighiThis collection of works navigates the artist’s autobiographical and familial relationships, tracing the shifting boundaries between family, environment, memory, and self. 📍 Bundoora Homestead Art Centre, 7 Prospect Hill Drive, Bundoora 3083Entry is free, all welcome <h3>Getting here</h3>— Venue is wheelchair accessible – disabled parking available (2 spaces); entry via ramp at main entrance— Free car parking available (40 spaces) via onsite car park— Bike parking also available—Tram route 86, stop number 63 (Greenwood Drive) + approx 6 min (550m) walkIn the interest of caring for the health and well-being of other attendees, please do not attend if you feel unwell, even if your symptoms are mild.Please note: general photography and short videos (for social media) will be recorded at this event for promotional use only and to document this event internally.
