Jane Brown, Peta Clancy, Leah King Smith, and Kurt Sorensen drag Australia’s contentious past into the light of the present, visualizing the ghostly legacy of colonialism – its haunted landscapes and criminal beginnings – while Anne Zahalka, Stephen Dupont, Katrin Koenning, and Sonia Payes bear witness to the devastating impact of human-induced climate change.
