Rural Utopias event: Alana Hunt presents Nine Hundred and Sixty Seven at the Kununurra Picture Gardens

Alana Hunt is currently working with the community of Kununurra. This residency forms part of one of Spaced’s current programs, Rural Utopias.

Alana Hunt is an artist and writer who lives on Miriwoong country in the north-west of Australia. This and her long-standing relationship with South Asia—and with Kashmir in particular—shapes her engagement with the violence that results from the fragility of nations and the aspirations and failures of colonial dreams.

This weekend, Alana Hunt invites you to the Kununurra Picture Gardens for presentation of 'Nine Hundred and Sixty Seven', a video work chronicling the project summaries of every application submitted under Section 18 of the WA Aboriginal Heritage Act between 2010-20 requesting permission to "destroy, damage or alter an Aboriginal site". The screening also features a response by Waringarri Dancers performing Wangga & Lirrga.

This event is free and all are welcome.
