KATHERINE HATTAM AT BAYSIDE GALLERY
Katherine Hattam: The history pictures opens Saturday 30 March at Bayside Gallery, Brighton and continues until Sunday 19 May. Katherine Hattam provides a feminist reading of the well-known colonial story of escaped convict William Buckley. Through the lens of Hattam’s contemporary domestic life, this new body of work explores the elusive life of Buckley, who lived for 32 years along Victoria’s coastline with the Wathaurong tribe before choosing to re-engage with white society. The Bayside Gallery will also be hosting an evening with Katherine Hattam and interviewer Tai Snaith, Wednesday 1 May 6pm. More here.
