The Uncomfortable Truth: Maree Clarke and megan evans

Maree Clarke and megan evans are descendants from either side of the colonial frontier.

Clarke has spent over three decades reclaiming and reinterpreting traditions lost or lying dormant due to invasion/colonisation. Her collaborative and intergenerational practice ensures cultural knowledge is passed on while engaging new audiences.

evans grew up on Wurundjeri land as a fifth generation Australian. She investigates the impact of her ancestors, particularly her great grandmother, on the original owners of the land they occupied in the early 1800's.

In dialogue for the first time through their artworks, these two artists unpack the impact of colonisation in a contemporary context. The Uncomfortable Truth brings a new way to view their shared cultures and histories: not as separate, but all a part of one timeline, a necessity for the healing of the people and land.
