Sydney Biennale – possum skin cloak

Part of the exhibit at the National Art School in Darlinghurst is this impressive item made by people associated with the Myall Creek Memorial. Entry is free and it’s on for a little while yet. 

The show in Darlinghurst is collectively titled ‘Rivus’ and it contains several things with the theme of a river, which is fitting considering where the massacre took place, in the environs of a creek in northern New South Wales. In the same room as the cloak, for example, is a work that resembles a snake river by a Colombian artist who lives in Los Angeles. The show is eclectic and interesting, and is worth spending an hour to view if you have time or if you’re in the area. The school is quite close to Museum Station on the City Circle line.
