Kent Morris illuminates Billilla lightboxes

Take a stroll through Billilla Gardens – 26 Halifax St Brighton – where you’ll see three lightboxes displaying works by artist Kent Morris.

By reconstructing the built environment through a First Nations lens, Kent Morris reveals the continuing presence and patterns of Aboriginal history, culture and knowledge in the contemporary Australian landscape, despite ongoing colonial interventions in the physical and political environments.

Morris has produced three images documenting the gardens and birdlife, reflecting on the site as Aboriginal land.

The lightboxes will be on display until 13 December 2023.
