This publication accompanies the first survey exhibition of Gordon Hookey’s thirty-year practice, co-curated by José Da Silva and Liz Nowell. It includes texts by Shannon Brett, Jax Compton, José Da Silva, Bruce Johnson McLean, Liz Nowell, and Pablo José Ramírez.

One of Australia’s most iconoclastic artists, Hookey sheds light on historical and contemporary issues affecting First Nation peoples, with biting wit and candour. Hookey’s work addresses issues including land rights, environmental destruction, institutional violence, human rights abuses, systemic racism, police corruption and international conflict.
