Description
Wareama, Wareamah, Warrayama, Cockatoo Island, holds deep cultural significance for the local Aboriginal Peoples of Sydney. The island has a rich and complex history reflecting both ancient Indigenous heritage and the more recent colonial and industrial periods. It is now a UNESCO World Heritage-listed site; however, the listing only acknowledges the colonial heritage of the island. Wareama, Wareamah, Warrayama has borne witness to the devastating and traumatic effects of colonisation, affecting Country, and both Indigenous and non-Indignenous Peoples.
Students interrogate the island and the colonial retelling of her histories. A self-directed brief forms, and students site their projects most aligned with the direction of their project. A diverse range of (Aboriginal) perspectives in the studio ensures a prioritising of truth-telling, balancing of narratives and a (re)centring Country.
