FEB24 GROUNDING Collective Territories + Jo Scicluna
Quality presents Grounding Practice, Process and Place by Collective Territories and Dr. Jo Scicluna.
Opening night
6-8pm, Friday 31st January
Gallery hours
Friday 31 January to Sunday 9 February
Open daily, 12-5pm
Drawing on the collaborator’s shared Maltese ancestry and associated cultural experiences, this exhibition choreographs a series of propositions that materialise GROUNDING, a collaborative and interdisciplinary framework developed by Collective Territories and Artist Dr Jo Scicluna. The exhibition explores modes of displacement through embodied site testing along the Merri Creek and within the Quality exhibition space.
GROUNDING grapples with the notion of multiple material origins and complex connection to homelands. The collaborators looked to discarded basalt building remnants that occupy the site as a reflection of diverse trajectories of migrants coming to this land.
Highlighting the changing value of materials when seen through a colonial lens: extracted, shaped, constructed and then discarded, this project explores how reorienting the act of displacement can become a tool for exposing and critiquing problematic histories and approaches to the landscape.
Collective Territories team: Ella Gauci-Seddon & Joseph Gauci-Seddon & artist Dr Jo Scicluna
