Naomie Hatherley on historical inquiry and our connection to place.

When we dig into history, what do we aim to do? That’s the central question in the exhibition of multidisciplinary artist Naomie Hatherley called un.dis.covered, produced as part of her Activating Collections + Threads in Common residency with North Midlands Project, Carnamah Historical Society and ART ON THE MOVE in 2024. Inspired by the Carnamah Homestead and the floral contributions of eight Aboriginal families following the death of it’s caretaker Duncan Macpherson in 1931, the exhibition showcases deep, open-ended artistic inquiry into our connection to place.
