The thirteen artists in From all Points of the Southern Sky: Photography from Australia and Oceania incisively explore the Australian continent – its dark colonial history, indigenous cultures and violent repressions – as well as turning their gaze on the neighboring countries of Oceania. Jane Brown, Peta Clancy, Leah King Smith, and Kurt Sorensen drag Australia’s contentious past into the light of the present, visualizing the ghostly legacy of colonialism – its haunted landscapes and criminal beginnings – while Anne Zahalka, Stephen Dupont, Katrin Koenning, and Sonia Payes bear witness to the devastating impact of human-induced climate change.
