Maree Clarke: Ancestral Memories is the first major retrospective of Melbourne-based artist and designer, Maree Clarke, who is a Yorta Yorta / Wamba Wamba / Mutti Mutti / Boonwurrung woman. Clarke is a pivotal figure in the reclamation of south-east Australian Aboriginal art and cultural practices and has a passion for reviving and sharing elements of Aboriginal culture that were lost - or lying dormant - as a consequence of colonisation.
Covering more than three decades of artistic output, the exhibition traverses Clarke's multidisciplinary practice across photography, printmaking, sculpture, jewellery, video, glass, and more.
Reflecting Clarke's continuing desire to affirm and reconnect with her cultural heritage, the exhibition will display her contemporary artworks alongside key loans of historical material from Museum Victoria, highlighting her deep engagement with and reverence for the customary ceremonies, rituals, objects and language of her ancestors.
