A river that flows both ways includes selected works from rīvus, the 23rd Biennale of Sydney from artists Imhathai Suwatthanasilp (Thailand), Aluaiy Kaumakan (Paiwan Nation), Yuko Mohri (Japan) and Sopolemalama Filipe Tohi (Tonga).
Expanding on environmental themes, including pollution, climate change, and the effect of colonisation on First Peoples’ custodianship of ecosystems, ACE will also collaborate with Ngarrindjeri leaders of the Coorong, Lower Lakes and Murray Mouth regions with a symposium on water and its cultural significance to South Australian Indigenous communities.
