‘The title of the exhibition empowers the ongoing commentary I have through my work about royalty, rights, Original Aboriginal and acknowledgment of true Australian history,’ explains Reko Rennie. Rennie references the recent protests and the renewed interest on a global scale of Indigenous sovereignty in his iconic paintings, carved wooden panels, gold-mirrored wall works and neons. A recurring motif throughout these works includes the ghosted outline of statues, signifying the need to call colonial histories into account and pay respect to traditional land owners.
