Already Occupied is an ongoing art project by Quandamooka artist Libby Harward which asserts Aboriginal sovereignty through temporary installations on country.
Using hi-vis and everyday traffic signage, Harward employs humour, language and materiality to spark conversations about Country and her connection to it.
This exhibition brings together Harward's new site-specific makings, sound and documentation of ephemeral earth installations.
Exploring the relationship between exploited land and the material from which colonialism is constructed she turns tools of occupation into a vocabulary of resistance.
This project has been assisted by the Australia Council for the Arts, and The Regional Arts Development Fund, a partnership between the Queensland Government and Gold Coast City Council. Sunday June 30 - Sunday September 1.
Opening event, 6.30pm on Friday June 28. Panel talk and morning tea on Sunday August 18, 10am.
