FAWN

FAWN will be showing as part of upcoming exhibition The Mourning After at RMIT.

The Mourning After seeks to explore how we can connect, enhance kinship and create hope in response to the overwhelming sense of permacrisis we face in our daily lives. It seeks to uncover and make sense of different mourning rituals and practices, to form a constellation of grieving moments.

 Through this exhibition, the gallery becomes a snapshot of different journeys surrounding grief, and moments of reflection and connection around mourning and loss—from personal to cultural, individual to social. While everyone experiences grief differently, our capacity to come together to mourn can move us into more hopeful, collective actions.

Works consider various tapestries of loss—personal loss (death and non-death related), Climate resilience, Anthropocene mourning, First Nations mourning of kin (human and more-than-human), hashtag media—and will include a constellation of grief hashtags mapped on the wall to flesh out grief literacy frameworks.
