"This is a really big deal everyone............

Archie Moore was born in Toowoomba.

He is a First Nation's Kamilaroi/Bigambul man.

He has also just been announced as the first Australian to ever win a first prize (The Golden Lion) at the biggest and longest running art and culture exhibition in the world - the Venice Biennale, in Italy (it first started 129 years ago!) Archie's work- is his family tree - that Archie wrote in chalk on the walls and ceiling at the exhibition space - it took him 2 months to complete. This massive family tree goes back 2,400 generations.

This is a huge deal......

The Australian art world is reeling with delight.

From K'town to Venice we say 'Congratulations Archie Moore.'" -Katherine Regional Arts KRA Facebook group.

ANGA: ART NOT GENOCIDE

Sign the letter for the exclusion of Israel from the Venice Bienniale

In 2022, with Russia’s war on Ukraine freshly underway, the Biennale and its curator issued numerous public statements in support of the Ukrainian people's right to self-determination, freedom, and humanity. The Biennale's public condemnation of “the unacceptable military aggression by Russia” included an avowal to reject “any form of collaboration with those who have carried out or supported such a grievous act of aggression" and a refusal to "accept the presence at any of its events of official delegations, institutions or persons tied in any capacity to the Russian government."

The Biennale has been silent about Israel's atrocities against Palestinians. We are appalled by this double standard. Israel's assault on Gaza constitutes one of the most intense bombardments in history. By the end of October 2023 Israel had already fired tonnes of explosives on Gaza equal in force to the nuclear bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Japan in 1945. In January 2024 it was reported that the daily death rate in Gaza exceeds that of any other major conflict in the 21st century.

The Israeli pavilion curators and artist have issued a simplistic statement about the necessity of art in dark times, insisting on a “pocket for free expression and creation amidst everything that’s happening.” Another double standard.

Art does not happen in a vacuum (let alone a "pocket"), and cannot transcend reality. Euphemisms cannot erase violent truths. Any work that officially represents the state of Israel is an endorsement of its genocidal policies. There is no free expression for the Palestinian poets, artists, and writers murdered, silenced, imprisoned, tortured, and prevented from travelling abroad or internally by Israel. There is no free expression in the Palestinian theatres and literary festivals shut down by Israel. There is no free expression in the museums, archives, publications, libraries, universities, schools, and homes of Gaza bombed to rubble by Israel. There is no free expression in the war crime of cultural genocide.

While the Israeli pavilion presses ahead, the genocidal death toll in Gaza and the West Bank increases daily. While Israel's curatorial team plans their "Fertility Pavilion" reflecting on contemporary motherhood, Israel has murdered more than 12,000 children and destroyed access to reproductive care and medical facilities. As a result, Palestinian women have C-sections without anaesthetic and give birth in the street.

Any official representation of Israel on the international cultural stage is an endorsement of its policies and of the genocide in Gaza.

The Biennale is platforming a genocidal apartheid state.

No death in Venice.

No business as usual.

NO GENOCIDE PAVILION AT THE VENICE BIENNALE.

The Mataaho collective is a group of four Māori women artists from Aotearoa New Zealand: Erena Baker-Arapere (Te Ātiawa ki Whakarongotai, Ngāti Toa Rangatira, and Ngāti Raukawa), Sarah Hudson (Ngāti Awa, Ngāti Pūkeko, and Tūhoe), Bridget Reweti (Ngāti Ranginui and Ngāi Te Rangi), and Dr Terri Te Tau (Rangitāne and Ngāti Kahungunu ki Wairarapa).

They have won the Golden Lion from a jury at the 60th Venice Biennale for their large-scale work Takapau in the main exhibition.

The 200sqm suspended weaving is made from six kilometres of fluorescent trucking straps, 480 stainless steel buckles and ratchets, and 960 J-hooks – safety materials used in labouring jobs.

We come from working class families, our materials are an ode to that. This is reflective tape that you will see on safety gear in the labour workforce. Intended for high-visibility and often paired with fluorescent colours, these uniforms are meant to be seen- although the individuals wearing it become an insidious level of invisible. This is for those whose labour is relegated the background, to our parents and siblings, we celebrate you. - Mataaho Instagram

“We all come from working class whānau [families] and the materials we choose to use are a mihi [tribute] to them, who may not feel at home in the art gallery – we like to use materials they know and experience every day, so they have something to recognise in the art world.” - Sarah Hudson
