Window Gallery x Darren Blackman
TEXT, COMMUNICATION and DECOLONISATION
IN-FORM is our monthly podcast about local emerging arts practices and the critical conversations that surround our contemporary arts ecology. In today's episode, we’re joined by Darren Blackman, one of our 2023 Outer Space Window Gallery artists, whose work Kancel Kolony Kulcha is on show from 28 June to 23 July.
This episode was hosted by Outer Space Promotions Officer, Tess Bakharia.
Darren Blackman is a Gureng Gureng and Gangulu multidisciplinary artist. Blackman’s ancestors were forbidden to speak their own language so in turn, he utilises text as a process of decolonisation. Dismantling narratives via loaded text, he mongrelises the king’s English. Layers of text are scribed and stencilled into each work on canvas, paper and textiles.
