Curator Acknowledgements

Between Waves was developed, and is presented on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri and Boonwurrung peoples of the south-eastern Kulin Nation – the lands I now call home in Naarm/ Melbourne. I respectfully acknowledge that art and culture has been thriving here, and across the continent now called Australia since time immemorial, and I pay my deepest respect to Elders past, present and future.

I am a proud palawa/pallawah woman with English, Irish, Turkish, and French ancestry, born in nipaluna/ Hobart, and as such, I acknowledge my ancestors, Elders, Country, and community at home, and the many places I have lived and worked. I would particularly like to acknowledge the Kulin Nation and Kaurna Country.

My heartfelt thanks to the Between Waves artists, for our yarns, for the opportunity to work together, and present their incredible new work in this exhibition. Equally, I extend sincere thanks to commissioned writers Tina Baum and Nat Harkin for their thoughtful and considered contributions to the exhibition catalogue. I respectfully acknowledge the artists and writers’ ancestors, cultural knowledges, and the wide-ranging places they call home. I give my warmest gratitude to the Yalingwa Directions Circle: Aunty Joy Murphy Wandin

AO (chair), Kylie Belling, Belinda Briggs, Hetti Perkins, Stacie Piper and Hannah Presley for their encouragement and support through exhibition development. I would also like to acknowledge the First Peoples team at Creative Victoria and the Yalingwa Visual Arts Initiative for this curatorial opportunity, as well as the support of TarraWarra Museum of Art and Victoria Lynn, Director.

An exhibition of this scope would not have been possible without the ongoing support of my incredible colleagues at the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (ACCA). In particular, I would like to acknowledge and thank Director Max Delany for his ongoing support, as well as curatorial colleagues Shelley McSpedden and Elyse Goldfinch, the executive team Laura De Neefe and Claire Richardson, operations manager, Margaret Stern, development team Grace Fraraccio and Kathryne Honey, publicist Katrina Hall, and previous ACCA curator Miriam Kelly. I extend my thanks to ACCA’s amazing exhibition manager Samantha Vawdrey, and her dedicated install team for bringing Between Waves into being, as well as technical advisors Charlie Farmer and Joon Youn, and the entire extended team at ACCA.

I would equally like to thank the various artists’ collaborators and gallerists, among other friends, colleagues and supporters, who have contributed to so many aspects of the exhibition. I also acknowledge with appreciation Sarah Tutton, Mary Parker and Kate ten Buuren for their support of Maree Clarke’s projection at Federation Square, and Julie Kantor and Wesley Enoch for their contribution to the Curatorial Symposium program.

Finally, all my love to my family incredible family, and friends who are family, for their guidance, care, and support, in particular my parents Between Meade and Rodney Clark. I would also like to acknowledge my mentors Maree Clarke, Lee-Ann Tjunypa Buckskin, Tina Baum, Dr David Sequeira, and Natalie King OAM.
