‘Missile Park’ includes a series of new commissions plus a comprehensive survey of the work of Kokatha and Nukunu woman Yhonnie Scarce; extending the artist’s research into the impacts of nuclear testing on the land and the people of South Australia, particularly Woomera, and the architectural legacies of past and ongoing international military presence in the region.
‘Missile Park’ is developed by ACCA in partnership with the Institute of Modern Art, Brisbane, and curated by Lisa Waup, Max Delany and Liz Nowell.
