Unsettling Queenstown condenses around concrete sites, histories and communities to explore decolonisation in architecture. Materials from two real towns are drawn upon to construct the exhibition’s fictional version: a copper mining town in Lutruwita/Tasmania, and Queenstown in Kaurna Yarta/Adelaide.
Featuring a large, suspended copper structure, two-dimensional paper elements, video and multimedia, and an open archive presented as “tactics” installed on the gallery walls, the exhibition reflects on colonialism’s impact on First Nations peoples and the natural environment.
