The Unbound Collective brings together four Adelaide-based First Nations women working across art, activism and academia: Ali Gumillya Baker (Mirning), Faye Rosas Blanch (Mbararam/Yidinyji), Natalie Harkin (Narungga) and Simone Ulalka Tur (Yankunytjatjara).
Their research, video and performance series Bound and Unbound: Sovereign Acts, of which CALLING is the fifth instalment, is concerned with making visible what has been concealed by colonial institutions of power. They disrupt in order to transform.
Sovereign Acts V: CALLING beckons us to pay attention, to look carefully for absences in our collective knowledge and to not be passive in our investigations. Through this call to action the gallery space becomes a space of resistance, resilience, and re-action.
