Inhabit Our Everything/Nothing
Inhabit Our Everything / Nothing is a MAMA collection exhibition curated by artist Hayley Millar Baker. The exhibition is informed by Millar Baker鈥檚 understanding of photography as an art form that is not only documentary in nature but also possesses transformative qualities. Presented are artworks that 鈥済o beyond mere representation to offer deep reinterpretations of personal and cultural identities".
鈥淚nhabit Our Everything / Nothing brings together artists whose works critically engage with the colonial archive, reclaim histories, and challenge the mechanisms of visibility and erasure. The selected artists employ photography as a medium of resistance and reclamation, subverting dominant narratives by inserting Indigenous, diasporic, and marginalised perspectives into the frame. These works interrogate the power structures inherent in visual culture, questioning who is granted agency in representation and the role of images in shaping collective memory. The exhibition elaborates on the history of possession, encompassing land, culture, and bodies, thereby revealing the tensions between individual and collective identity, displacement and belonging, as well as visibility and invisibility.鈥
