03.03.2022 to 03.03.2022
Southern Cross Reclaimed is photographed in the same site with the same characters as Southern Cross- to bare and behold, 2009. Despite years passing, the same issues of reconciliation and unceded sovereignly of Australia’s First Nation people, the impacts of colonization on people and land plus the ever present related impacts of escalating global warming, are still profoundly present.
The Djurid Balad people occupied Mount Arapiles and Mitre Lake and were one of five clans of the Wotjobaluk, Wergala, Jupagalk, Jadawadjali and Jaadwa country. This is a site of perpetual haunting and my own white heritage has perpetuated this history.
