    Education Resource: ‘mudunama kundana wandaraba jarribirri: Judy Watson’

    For more than four decades, Waanyi artist Judy Watson has created powerful, ethereal works of art. ‘mudunama kundana wandaraba jarribirri: Judy Watson’ is a comprehensive survey of the renowned Queensland artist’s incisive meditations on colonial, social and ecological concerns. The exhibition comprises more than 120 works, including paintings, prints, sculptures, installations and moving-image works. Truth-telling has been central to Watson’s artistic practice, particularly concerning environmental protection; historic government policy in relation to Indigenous Australians; and the collecting institutions that house cultural material and ancestral remains. Other works focus on the role of women and feminist critique. The exhibition’s title ‘mudunama kundana wandaraba jarribirri’, meaning ‘tomorrow the tree grows stronger’, is taken from a poem in Waanyi language by the artist’s son, Otis Carmichael.
