Useful Objects will be showing at Watt Space Gallery from the 29th of May until the 28th of June. Join the artists and curators for the launch of the exhibition on the 18th of May at 4pm.
About the exhibition:
We live with the legacy of Ancestral ways of being, creating and belonging on Country. Useful Objects reviews these ancestral connections using a rare collection of artefacts from the Laut Collection held by the Wollotuka Institute.
Purchased to ensure the collection was not lost, rare and ancient items from across Australia are exhibited alongside contemporary First Nation’s artists who have reinterpreted the methods, mediums and uses to ascribe new meanings. Ceremony and Culture are interrogated through investigations into past objects and their embodied truth
