Kudos acknowledges and pays respect to the Gadigal and Bidjigal people of the Eora nation. They are the traditional custodians of the land Kudos Online operates on. We create, design, share, and exchange our work and knowledge on this important meeting place. We pay our respects to elders past and present and extend that respect to any First Nations people who visit Kudos Online. This is and always will be Aboriginal land.

In Roland Boer’s essay The Robbery of Language he writes that the crafting of “a world without contradiction” is an undeniable acknowledgement of erasing other perspectives in favour of a singular outlook. Myth & Signification invites artists to reflect upon the ability of modern myth to distort meaning and suspend rationality and uncover perspectives suppressed by dominant discourses.
Through sculpture, installation, painting and textiles, myth and counter-myth are explored as devices for investigating the potentiality of oppositional perspectives and utopian ideas in resisting the creation of a world without contradiction.
