On Fire: Climate and Crisis – IMA
January 30, 2021 @ 10:00 am - March 20, 2021 @ 5:00 pm
One year on from the devastating 2019-20 Black Summer bushfires, Brisbane’s Institute of Modern Art unveils a new contemporary art exhibition confronting this period of significant ecological change. ‘On Fire: Climate and Crisis’ features work by 15 Queensland artists and interrogates the state’s image as a subtropical paradise by considering the themes of global warming and climate threat. ‘On Fire’ considers the damaging legacies of colonialism, how artists visualise experiences of environmental connection and disconnection and fire’s capacity for rejuvenation, foregrounding First Nations’ voices and addressing the burgeoning Indigenous cultural fire movement.
