Kudos acknowledges and pays respect to the Gadigal and Bidjigal people of the Eora nation. They are the traditional custodians of the land Kudos 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 engage with Kudos. This is and always will be Aboriginal land.

Kudos presents Shadows, a culmination of a master’s project which responds to Imperial Lakes, Broken Hill on Wilyakali Country. Examining histories of extraction and the centrality of nature-culture dualism to Western knowledge systems, the work responds to rubbish-objects collected from the streets of Broken Hill through charcoal and ink drawing, moving image, and interactive sculpture. 

Exploring relationships between language, objects, and representation, the exhibition aims to challenge the coloniality of knowledge production and the hegemony of Eurocentrism imposed at the lakes, a pair of defunct reservoirs previously used as a mining water supply. 

Shadows focuses instead on the cyclicality of time, matter, energy, and knowledge, embracing relationality and encouraging interaction and connection. The exhibition aims to disrupt the Eurocentric, production-oriented focus on objects and engage with artmaking as a process which is connected to place, and which mediates a focus on relationships within community and the more-than-human world.
