We discuss the eucalypt as sentinel and witness to contested, obscured and enduring histories in Australia. What can we learn from trees that have withstood and absorbed the past, and what can this teach us about our futures?
Featuring Alisa Bunbury, Grimwade Collection Curator at the Ian Potter Museum of Art; Julie Gough, artist, writer and curator; and hosted by Agatha Gothe-Snape, Powerhouse Artistic Associate and co-curator of Eucalyptusdom.
Interested in learning more? Eucalyptusdom is showing at Powerhouse Ultimo from 11 October 2021 – 28 August 2022. It is accompanied by a publication which expands upon the research and creative output of the exhibition, showcasing more than 20 creative practitioners commissioned to produce new works in dialogue with 500+ objects from the Powerhouse collection.
The series is programmed by Rebecca Gallo, produced by Ayeesha Ash and Cara Stewart, edited by Mara Schwerdtfeger, and sound designed by Jane Sheldon.
