A MURRIALITY charts three decades of artmaking and activism by Waanyi artist Gordon Hookey. Across sculpture, printmaking, video, and large-scale painting, Hookey’s work is celebrated for its biting satire of Australian culture and politics, clever critique of racism, and exploration of oral and image-based history-making traditions.
A MURRIALITY features a major new commission of eight protest banners that provide timely socio-political commentary while also imagining a truly empowered Indigenous future. For Hookey, these works are “not the actual protest; they’re about our protest.”
