The installation was lauded for its subtle yet poignant confrontation of First Nations Australian history and its colonial legacies, celebrating connective notions of history, identity, and lineage.
Archie Moore's installation stands out for its strong aesthetic, lyricism, and invocation of a shared loss of an occluded past, offering a glimmer of recovery.
Moore brings international awareness to the vitality of First Nations kinship, tracing his Kamilaroi and Bigambol ancestry over 65,000 years to highlight shared humanity.
This intricate map of relations in 'kith and kin' reflects the unique familial structures of First Nations Australians and serves as a memorial to their histories.
