Presented at Bankstown Arts Centre in 2024, MultiFutures addresses the importance of diversity in the creation of imaginary and real-world futures based on lived experiences of First Nations and CaLD communities.
Featuring multimedia artistic practices informed by AfroFuturism, Indigenous Futurism, Asian Futurism and Yemini Futurism, this exhibition speaks to the diverse cultural make-up of contemporary Australia and is a compelling speculative visual narrative of the place of migrant communities in the future.
Artists: Alia Ali (US), Black Quantum Futurism (US), Edwina Green (VIC), Jane Fan, Kalanjay Dhir, Lawrence Liang and Christina Lam, Serwah Attafuah, Subash Thebe Limbu (Nepal)
Rachael Kiang’s curator talk will be followed by a screening of one of the films in the exhibition, Ladhamba Tayem; Future Continuous by Subash Thebe Limbu 14:52 minutes, and then there will be an open discussion.
