The war at home: art describes Australia’s turbulent present

这个项目调查了这个国家自身的故事与当前健康、地方和民族的大规模破裂之间的摩擦。由于澳大利亚正在发生不可估量的变化，甚至在国内谈论战争也是合适的。从第一次世界大战开始，澳大利亚政府决定委托战争艺术家创作关于战争中的国家的艺术。我们的项目是由一组澳大利亚艺术家组成，他们对描绘冲突有着丰富的经验，在一位年长的冈迪吉马拉老人的指导下，与一位杰出的生物医学科学家合作，调查国内当前的战争。未来的澳大利亚人将受益于艺术创造的遗产，这些遗产描绘了对当前国内战争的新理解。

This project investigates the friction between the nation’s stories of itself, and the current massive fracturing of health, of places and of peoples. Because Australia is changing beyond measure, it is even appropriate to talk about the war at home. From World War 1 onwards, the Australian government decided that war artists be commissioned to make art about the nation at war. Our project proposes that a team of Australian artists, with a deep experience of picturing conflict, investigates the current war at home, guided by a senior Gunditjimara elder and in collaboration with an eminent biomedical scientist. Future Australians will benefit from the heritage created by art portraying a new understanding of the current war at home.
