Thanks for your participation in West Projections 2020!

It was sure a different experience than we have grown accustomed to and we hope you enjoyed it for all it was.

Huge thanks to our sponsors, incredible returning artists and first time student artists for their works and reactions they evoked.

Until next time, be safe, be well and never get down to the last roll of TP ever again or you may just have to dance fight your way out of it!

** LAST DAYS **

PAOLA BALLA
THE MOK MOK, TAMMY & PATSY SLIDE SHOW

Mok Mok is a woman; both spiritual and physical, powerful, free and fearless. Mok Mok stories were told to the artist as a child, whose wildness and power fascinated.

Mok Mok was written about by Aunty Margaret Lilardia Tucker in her 1977 autobiography, ‘If Everyone Cared’.

The artist was gifted a signed copy belonging to her grandmother by her mother Margie at the start of her PhD, the same copy she read as a child returned to in her and inspired the outcomes of the artist’s PhD research project, Disrupting Artistic Terra Nullius: The Ways that First Nations Women in Art and Community Speak blak to the Colony and Patriarchy.

** LAST DAYS **

ROBERTA RICH
ARREST

Arrest, was born from exploring the idea of glitch and attempting to glitch images that disturbed the artist. Through a process of ‘manual’ glitching, the aim was to arrest the complacency towards the erasure of Black bodies in this image, establishing new momentum.

JESS DUBBLU & SHAE ROOKE
LAND LINE

Do you want to play a game?

Shae and Jess live a block apart, in the before-times they would see each other almost every day. As lockdown continued, they dreamed of connecting their households with a tin can telephone, the string conducting the voices’ vibrations, creating a physical connection to a person you cannot touch.

Land Line reacts to being painfully close to normality, both physically and figuratively, but just out of reach.

JONATHAN HOMSEY
CACA-CAPITALISMO

A joyful work for and of the times, Caca-Capitalismo is a comical meditation on our internal monologues directly inspired by the fight for resources driven by capitalism and hoarding. Inspired by real life Karen stories during COVID-19, this accessible fotonovela takes the absurdity of ignorance and cranks the volume up.

ALISON BENNETT
TURNING IN

2020 finds the artist inside their house, unable to go outside due to smoke pollution from momentous bushfires over summer and a global viral pandemic through winter.
Both are effects of climate change driven by the anthropocene.
