黑料不打烊

Biology and economics have made clear our vulnerabilities as humans relegated to isolation by social distancing and the closure of international borders. Emerging from this context of uncertainty and fragility, this project became a dialogue between peers about learning, unlearning, and relearning 鈥� one grounded in values of interdependency as we look to the future. 

UN/LEARNING AUSTRALIA, co-curated by the Seoul Museum of Art (SeMA), (South Korea) and Artspace (Sydney, Australia), is an invitation to listen, to be open to multiple voices, and to explore new ways of thinking that inspire mutual understanding and respect. At a time of immense change and heightened focus on community and care, this project amplifies artistic practice that represents contemporary issues vital to Australia and the region.

The exhibition illuminates the practices of 35 leading Australian artists, collectives, and Indigenous art centres. Instead of looking through a rigid thematic lens, it invites a dynamic understanding of Australian art and society with complex cultural, social, and political threads. Participating artists share different knowledge systems, self-presentations and forms of resistance that challenge standard representations of Australia. Ultimately, the project embraces un/learning as a process that rethinks and recalibrates preconceptions of Australia and re-examines privilege, power, and dominance.
