(Awarded to Dilushi & Myself)
Year: 2025 DESCRIPTION
A co-curated exhibition with students of the RMIT Master of Communication Design program, at the Old Melbourne Gaol—a site deeply tied to Australia’s colonial history.
Using the histories of discipline in the Old Melbourne Gaol as a point of departure, this exhibition peels back layers of isolation and identity erosion to encourage contemporary reflections. Through delving into the dehumanisation experienced by prisoners sentenced to contend with sensory deprivation and overstimulation, this exhibition reveals a history that lingers in our current reality and distant future; both within and beyond prison walls. These disciplinary systems strip means of connection and communication, but it is here where we see resistance materialise.
Through recognising the past and providing a space to explore speculative futures, we reveal the endurance that emerges through language and acts of defiance.
