Dec 7 to Feb 23, 2025 Current: Brian Robinson.
The prevalence of explorers and voyages of “discovery,” and their juxtaposition with Brian Robinson’s intricate Zenadth Kes and Pacific designs and beautifully observed renderings of flora and fauna is revealing. At the heart of Robinson’s work are questions about the authority and empiricism of Enlightenment and its ideals. His work encourages open-minded inquiry of Western narratives. Drawing upon his unbroken connection with one of the oldest living cultures in the world, his late-20th century childhood and hobbies, and boundless creative capacity, Robinson offers audiences an enriching understanding of Indigenous knowledge systems with a unique worldview.
