Re.Collections celebrates the endurance of Aboriginal art and culture, exploring how archival photographs can be reclaimed and utilised as a connection to First Nations history and experiences. Historic Western Australian photographs feature Aboriginal life from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and build upon the ‘Returning Photos’ research project. New and existing works by First Nation artists Dianne Jones, Jarnda Councillor-Barns and Katie West respond to and reimagine archival photographs, sharing an insight into the active and timeless creation of First Nations art and culture.
