Code-Switching: Creating Space to Align Structural Values, solo exhibition by Moorina Bonini
This exhibition is the practical component of Moorina Bonini’s Phd candidature. This research examines the ontological design of western institutions such as galleries, museums, and universities through practice-led and Indigenous-led research.
The research was undertaken to determine if western institutions can be reconfigured through the Indigenous research methodology, wanyarra (active) code-switching and creative practice. The significance of this research is that it combines Indigenous knowledge and practice, being the immaterial and material, together through practice and research.
I argue that the articulation of wanyarra (active) code-switching through practice transforms the ontological positioning of the viewer through embodied and immersive engagement with my practice.
Please join us on 4 November from 1pm – 3pm for the closing event.
