History can be hidden, forgotten, resisted. It is a site of both remembrance & forgetfulness - Wendy Garden
Institutional archives are the storehouses for salvaged fragments of the colonial past and provide the material from which history is written. The document, the text and more recently the image - particularly the photographic image - enable new perspectives to be given as well as the retrieval of pasts that may have been forgotten or omitted from dominant narratives. In recent years a growing number of artists have been lured to the archive attracted by its potential to trouble the knowledges and understandings that continue to circulate in wider Australia today.
In this lecture Wendy Garden discusses the photographic work of a number of artists who re-use archival photographs to bring to light new perspectives and little known histories about Victoria’s Indigenous pasts.
