HAYLEY MILLAR BAKER (GUNDITJMARA, AU)
CONSTRUCTIVE MEMORY & STORYTELLING
FRIDAY 23 APRIL 2021, 6PM - 7.15PM
ALLAN SCOTT AUDITORIUM
Hayley Millar Baker (Gunditjmara, AU) is a cross-cultural research-driven, contemporary artist based in Melbourne, Australia. Her practice reveals a perspective that explores human experiences in a lens that is non-exclusive and non-linear, connected within memory and contemporary storytelling. Constructing complex visual insights to past, present and future realms, storytelling becomes a methodology for her in which to reclaim and reauthor constructs of history, narrating inherited and personal stories.
Furthermore, Millar Baker negates experiences of remembering/misremembering memory, while reflecting on how often personal recollections and historical accounts are improvised and embellished to become new ‘truths’.
