You're invited to the
Opening Night of
at
SEVENTH Gallery ,
213-215 Church Street, Richmond on
Tuesday 6 June 2023 at 6pm. The Exhibition will continue till
close of date - 23 June 2023. An array of live actions will unfold, each with a touch of irony, coinciding with the date for the Batman 'treaty,' which, by both Kulin and European standards, is widely regarded as a
sham.
Robbie Thorpe himself will deliver a live recorded speech, the words echoing throughout the Gallery for the duration of the exhibition. Adjacent to the Gallery, a fire will blaze on Crown land, a poignant symbol of resilience and a testament to the ongoing fight for justice, sovereignty and treaty. Food and drinks will be available, with all funds raised contributing to the vital cause of
Pay the Rent . See given link to find out more about
Pay the Rent.
Come along to an immersive experience that merges art and facts, celebrating the indomitable spirit of Robbie Thorpe for his artistic contributions and cultural leadership, and the rich legacy of Blak resistance that continues to shape the cultural landscape. New artistic works and archival material combine to shed a light on Thorpe's profound influence within the community and his integral role in the ongoing Indigenous resistance against invasion. In his latest creations, Thorpe infuses a sharp sense of humour, mocking the colonial institution of Australia. Through clever and radical articulations, Thorpe challenges its foundations and highlights the complexities and injustices embedded in contemporary Aboriginal experiences. It's definitely going to be a conversation piece.
