Midsumma Presents Queer PHOTO Visual Arts Exhibition Community & Culture

Reflecting on her experiences as a person from two different colonies (Australia and Fiji), artist Salote Tawale takes Indigenous knowledge systems as a founding base.

This exhibition takes its name from the collaborative drawing game popularised by surrealist artists, who in turn, appropriated Oceanic objects and ideas. 'Exquisite Corpse' refers not only to this reclaimed methodology, but also the cumulative migrant experience.

Presented by: Footscray Community Arts, Midsumma Festival and Photo Australia
