Screening of Gabriella Hirst's film Darling, Darling (2021) and in-conversation with Gabriella Hirst and Pandora Syperek

Gabriella Hirst's film Darling, Darling (2021) contrasts footage of the devastated land and waterways of the Darling River Basin, or the ‘Barka’ as it is known by the Traditional Owners of the region, filmed in emulation of 18-19th century European landscape painting compositions, with documentation of the meticulous restoration of a prized colonial painting of the same region held in the Art Gallery of NSW. This screening and conversation with art historian Pandora Syperek will position the film in relation to notions of leakiness as a response to architectures of containment, in the process thinking through ideas such as hydro-institutional critique, landscape painting and settler colonialism, and scrutinising processes of care.This event is programmed in collaboration with the Slade Material Research Project. Darling, Darling was commissioned by ACMI/Ian Potter Foundation in 2020T﻿he event will be livestreamed.
