This work is about silence, and the space in between; the conversations not being heard; the responses that are muted. Through the beating of a drum bodies thrash through frequencies to uncover what lies in the silence. There's silence between the stars; as the emu travels across the night sky; in the energy of the dancers; the rupture between rhythms; and movement where the spirit world can enter. They have marched across country; they have had promises made, and promises broken; in SILENCE we pull the unresolved conversations from under the rug and slam them back on the table because the conversation about a treaty will never be silenced. This performance will be at the Goulburn Performing Arts Centre on Friday [March 31] from 11am to midday and Saturday [April 1] from 7.30pm to 8.30pm.

Clementine Belle McIntosh is an emerging rural artist based in Gilgandra, the waterhole meeting place of the Wiradjuri, Wailwan and Kamilaroi peoples. McIntosh was selected for this exhibition through the graduate program at the Australian National University. Her work observes the removal and recontextualisation of place-based material histories within commercialised spaces. Unprocessed, unwanted and unconsidered materials embody dialogues between artist-ecology-neighborhood-industry from local contexts in Wiradjuri, Wailwan, Kamilaroi and Gundungara country. Although these materials are not immediately consumable, their connections to other places can be transparently reconstructed and understood; audiences are therefore able to consider how the market's standardisation and non-linear systems of local materials erase the opportunity for place-based learning akin to Aboriginal pedagogies. The Inland exhibition will be displayed at Goulburn Regional Art Gallery until the end of April. Phone 4823 4494.
