Unbound Collective performing Sovereign Acts III: REFUSE, 2018
This landmark exhibition celebrates 10 years of critical and creative work by the nationally acclaimed Unbound Collective, a group of First Nations women based on Kaurna Yarta whose shared praxis represents a rupturing and reimagining of colonial institutions, and radical endeavour to shape the world anew.

Celebrating 10 years of critical and creative work, the exhibition traces the group’s journey from their inaugural exhibition in 2014 at Fontanelle Gallery in Adelaide’s inner west, to their video-work PERMEATE | mapping skin and tides of saturated resistance, presented for ‘unsettling Queenstown’ in the Australia Pavilion for the 18th Venice Architectural Biennale. Unbound Collective engages with complex ideas of sovereign identity and representation, through the lens of First Nations knowledges and methodologies, offering radical new ways of speaking back to the enduring hold of colonialism in this country. Their work spans moving image, installation, song, poetry, and performance.

Please note that the exhibit will be closed from 14 December 2024 - 16 February 2025.
