The Living Archive of Aboriginal Art and Knowledge Online Lecture

Join Maree Clarke (Mutti Mutti/Yorta Yorta/Wemba Wemba/Boonwurrung), Kerri Clarke (Boonwurrung/Wemba Wemba), Mitch Mahoney (Boonwurrung/Wemba Wemba/Barkindji), Dr Fran Edmonds and Dr Sabra Thorner as they discuss The Living Archive of Aboriginal Art and Knowledge. In this lecture the concept of the Living Archive will be discussed in relation to the work of Maree, Mitch and Kerri Clarke, as they reflect on their art practices, including learning and working together in Maree’s backyard/artists’ studio to revitalise their Ancestral material culture and associated stories. These practices will be related to the current possum skin cloak-making workshop they are conducting at Mt Holyoke College, USA, where the workshop is providing new opportunities for students to engage with an Indigenous concept of a Living Archive.

The event will be held on Wednesday 20 April at 12pm. Register your place HERE.
