Press Release

MEMORY/MYTH is a program of films and video installations borne from distinct yet overlapping experiences of indigeneity, diaspora and the intersecting global legacies of colonialism. Through contemporary and historic works by a group of acclaimed international artists, Ames Yavuz presents a conversation between kindred spirits — authors united by their shared inheritance of landscapes and stories ravaged by the imperial project. The extensive lacunae in such histories are visited by these artists as sites for both mourning and discovery, while also being generative spaces for myth-making, fantasy and the curative contemplation of possible futures.

The participating artists include Ibrahim Ahmed (Kuwait), Mónica Alcázar-Duarte (Mexico), Brook Andrew (Wiradjuri, Ngunnawal/Australia), Fikret Atay (Turkey), Martha Atienza (Philippines), Richard Bell (Kamilaroi, Kooma, Jiman and Gurang Gurang/Australia), Club Ate (Australia), Joy Gregory (UK), Amrita Hepi (Bundjulung/Ngapuhi Territories), Choy Ka Fai (Singapore), Mehdi-Georges Lahlou (Morocco/France), Mónica de Miranda (Portugal), Jacob Nash (Daly River people/Australia), Khandakar Ohida (India), Thania Petersen (South Africa), Stanislava Pinchuk (Ukraine), Lindokuhle Sobekwa (South Africa), Valentina Soto (Chile), Mikhael Subotzky (South Africa), Eve Tagny (Canada), Tromarama (Indonesia), Bindi Vora (UK), Jayda Wilson (Gugada, Wirangu/Australia), and Donovan Wylie and Peter Mann (Ireland).
