Unsettling Queenstown
National Exhibition Register
About the exhibition
Unsettling Queenstown explores contemporary architectural tactics and projects in the context of decolonisation. Responding to the international theme it looks through the lens of Queenstown in lutruwita and on Kaurna yarta, as both a real place and an idea. The exhibition encompasses a ghostly fragment of colonial architecture, immersive sounds and imagery, and propositions of ‘Country Demapped;’ a third, fictional, and unsettled, Queenstown. For the first time, the Australia pavilion exhibition will return to Australia for a domestic touring leg. We are now calling for expressions of interest from host venues who have availability and capacity to host unsettling Queenstown in 2024.
