MAREE CLARKE IN ‘THE MOURNING AFTER’ AT RMIT DESIGN HUB GALLERY

The Mourning After seeks to explore how we can connect, enhance kinship and create hope in response to the overwhelming sense of permacrisis we face in our daily lives. It seeks to uncover and make sense of different mourning rituals and practices, to form a constellation of grieving moments.

Works consider various tapestries of loss—personal loss (death and non-death related), Climate resilience, Anthropocene mourning, First Nations mourning of kin (human and more-than-human), hashtag media—and will include a constellation of grief hashtags mapped on the wall to flesh out grief
literacy frameworks.

Featured artists: Lauren Berkowitz, Centre for Reworlding in collaboration with High Volume, Maree Clarke, Megan Cope, Vicki Couzens, Annie Frost Nicholson, Heather Hesterman, Shahee Ilyas, Machine Listening, Paula Mahoney, The Death Letter Project, Lara Thoms (APHIDS).

Curated by Larissa Hjorth.
