In this solo exhibition, Julie Gough employs film, installation, and archives to unearth submerged narratives, blending the building’s colonial past with local histories. Drawing inspiration from multiple Newcastle visits and residencies, she seamlessly melds past and present, crafting narratives of memory and place. This synthesis of art and research offers a deep dive into history, in a continuation of her ongoing work dealing with individual, national and First Nations identity.
About Julie Gough
Gough is an artist, writer, academic and curator whose work exposes hidden and conflicting histories, many rooted in her family’s experiences as Tasmanian Aboriginal people. A Trawlwoolway woman, her Briggs-Johnson lineage has been based in the Latrobe region of northwest Tasmania since the 1840s. Their Traditional Country, Tebrikunna, is in far northeastern Lutruwita (Tasmania).
