On 13 July, an afternoon performance in the gallery will open another window to Ropeyarn’s suite of large-scale works on paper that explore Injinoo culture and history from dreamtime to colonisation and contemporary life, drawn from the knowledge of the Gudang, Angkamuthi, Yadhaykana and Atabaya nations of Northern Cape York. The artist’s bold lino and vinyl relief prints don’t follow a traditional aesthetic, but use the symbols and totems of his culture to tell stories, his way.
