dc.description.abstract |
Produced in collaboration with the Culpra Milli Aboriginal Corporation, Interpretive Wonderings is an exhibition of mapping shaped by the stories and history of the country of Culpra Station in NSW. In September 2015, thirty Indigenous and non-indigenous creative practitioners gathered at Culpra Station for a workshop to map the material and immaterial qualities of the country. A former grazing and cropping property on the Murray River floodplain, the station is situated on the traditional country of the Barkandji people and home to a number of significant Aboriginal cultural heritage sites. The exhibition reflects a coming together through diversity of the participants in a collaboration underpinned by a shared commitment to the preservation, protection, promotion and celebration of Aboriginal culture and custodianship through country. The workshop, a collaborative project betweenn the Culpra Milli Aboriginal Corporation, RMIT University, University of Technology Sydney and Monash University sought to produce mappings of country which challenge cartographic convention - in this way the mappings produced often challenge the notion of what is generally accepted to be a map including drawings, paintings, video and audio installations and performance pieces. |

This project is in the field of visual communication design and curatorial practice. The project builds upon a body of critical cartographic work that sees mapping as 'performative, participatory and political.' Positioning the map beyond being an 'instrument for preserving meaning and truth,' this form of critical mapping challenges the stable, ontological distribution of power inherent in conventional cartography which often involves itself in the production of fixed conditions including boundaries, ideas, concepts, territories and relationships. The research contribution is the development of new approaches to interpretive mapping that provide significant insights into Indigenous and non-Indigenous spatial sensibilities towards sites of cultural significance and country. The project centred around 26 mappings produced during a mapping workshop at Culpra Station; an 8,000 hectare property situated in rural New South Wales. Taking place in September 2015, thirty Indigenous and non-indigenous participants were invited to Culpra Station to produce interpretive mappings through which to explore multivalent understandings of country. The outcome of the research is a collection of interpretive mappings in a variety of media including recordings, tracking, performance, video, composition, assemblages, writing, drawings, poetry, and photography. Whilst this diversity is reflected through the media, approach and outcome of the individual offerings, the significance of the project is through collaboration and knowledge sharing extending to a larger project of reconciliation through mutual understanding. The research was exhibited at Mildura Arts Centre with funding from Mildura Regional City Council, Western Local Land Services, and West Darling Arts. |
