A collaboration between Composite (Melbourne) and KADIST, organised by curator Rosemary Forde, alongside KADIST curators Yuan Fuca and Shona Mei Findlay, this screening event brings together a selection of video works from Edwina Green, Eugenia Lim, Kim Munro, Emilija Škarnulyte, Sriwhana Spong, and Ana Vaz. Each work engages with narratives and relational views of place, employing gestures and embodied understandings of place through movement, tactile exploration, text and imagery, to explore the fluid and ongoing process of place-making. The artists in Place Made After the Story exhibit a tenderness in approach, bringing a poetic logic to their critical engagement with place. By revisiting public histories or familial memory, these works deal with the intricate relationships between locality, ecology, narrative, belonging and not belonging.
