Artist Talk: Gordon Hookey
b'Since 2020, Gordon Hookey has made placards and banners which explore the visual histories of protest and his interpretation of contemporary politics. Join Hookey for an artist talk focusing on this area of his practice, specifically the new commission of eight banners presented in A MURRIALITY.\\n\\nIn this talk facilitated by Cheryl Leavy, Hookey speaks to his process of making this body of work, drawing on his archive of posters that span forty-years and document issues from land rights to refugee advocacy, and Indigenous excellence in sports, music, and art. The commissioned works continue his witty critique of racism; exploring oral- and image-based history-making traditions, to create a biting satire of Australian culture and politics.\\n\\nA MURRIALITY is Gordon Hookey\\u2019s first survey show, charting three decades of practice where artmaking and activism fuse.\\n\\nPlease note: This exhibition contains adult content including strong language and graphic imagery.'
