Amiel Courtin-Wilson / Uncle Jack Charles

Exhibition

Sovereignty

The exhibition Sovereignty focuses upon contemporary art of First Nations peoples of South East Australia, and keynote historical works, to explore culturally and linguistically diverse narratives of self-determination, identity, sovereignty and resistance.

Press Release

Sovereignty

Sovereignty will include the music videos of celebrated Shepparton Hip Hop artist Briggs, through his Bad Apples label; Amiel Courtin-Wilson’s award-winning film Bastardy, focusing on the life and times of Uncle Jack Charles; and videos on Indigenous identity produced by young people...
ACCA acknowledges the Wurundjeri Woiwurrung people as sovereign custodians of the land on which we work and welcome visitors, along with the neighbouring Boonwurrung, Bunurong, and wider Kulin Nation. We acknowledge their longstanding and continuing care for Country and we recognise First Peoples art and cultural practice has been thriving here for millennia. We extend our respect to ancestors and Elders past and present, and to all First Nations people.
