Sarah Scout Presents announces The Dark Mirror, featuring work by Chantal Faust, Lou Hubbard, Hayley Millar-Baker, Mark Rodda, David Thomas, Christian Thompson and Julie Vinci.

The Dark Mirror comprises work that is at once reflexive, reflective, apocalyptic. Engaging strategies of concealment, revelation, unmasking and subversion, it considers the idea of post-identity in our post-truth world – but largely via the domestic and the personal. As this year marks the 250th anniversary of James Cook’s first voyage to Australia and the Pacific, the exhibition seeks also to provide a series of counter narratives to colonisation histories.

Exhibition opens: 6–8pm Thursday 6 February 2020
