Keg de Souza - Blue Haze: Awaba

Blue Haze: Awaba follows the journey of Eucalyptus, with over 850 species, away from its culturally significant context – the Aboriginal land it comes from.

It quickly became the main tree planted for timber plantations. ‘Nilgiri’ literally means ‘blue mountain’, originally named for the clustered bloom of the blue flowering species Strobilanthes kunthiana, but now also radiates a blue haze due to the eucalyptus plantings.

Interfacial Intimacies

Interfacial Intimacies brings together artists who hold and express tenderly the multiple aspects of their selves through a series of portraiture and anti-portraiture. Photography, film, installations, sculpture, textile, and performance in this exhibition explore the tensions of our networked personalities - our shadows, our masks, our shame.
