MILKALI KUTJU ONE BLOOD Besser Space 15-25 Keele Street Collingwood, Victoria 2 - 12 August, 2017



MILKALI KUTJU ONE BLOOD Milkali Kutju, meaning ‘one blood’ in Pitjantjatjara language, is a call for unity, for an end to racial prejudice. I’m asking people to look beneath the surface and see that our differences are only skin deep. It doesn’t matter what colour or race you are, we all have blood running through our veins. In these works the paper is like a skin, and the piercings I’ve burnt through its surface invite the viewer to look a little deeper, and consider what lies beneath: Milkali Kutju – One Blood. - Robert Fielding
