Visit the captivating new exhibition EXCHANGE at Blak Dot Gallery from 5th of April until 8th of June. The exhibition explores the exchange between peoples and the transfer of knowledge, materials, and practice. Though exchange may seem routine, for First Nations artists, it carries a significance that can be eroded by economic forces, lack of understanding, and insincerity.
Each exchange carries a myriad of obligations — to return home, to culture, to Country, to archives, to resistance, to language, to practice, and to family…

EXCHANGE is a group exhibition featuring a dynamic new body of work by eight First Nations artists based in Naarm (Melbourne), Victoria: Maree Clarke, Lisa Couzens, Vicki Couzens, Kirsten Garner Lyttle, Brian Martin, Yhonnie Scarce, Frances Tapueluelu, and wani toaishara.
This exhibition received assistance from NETS Victoria’s 2020 Exhibition Development Fund supported by the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria.
