Veracity was an exhibition of First Nations artwork from the MAMA collection, selected by guest curator Glennys Briggs. An artist, curator, and cultural leader, Briggs is a Wiradjuri, Yorta Yorta, and Taungwurrung woman, based in Albury Wodonga. For Veracity, Briggs has assembled artworks that speak from a First Nations perspective and offer honesty in response to often obscured histories of the colonisation of this continent.
Veracity was presented as part of nginha: you are here, a season of programming celebrating artists from our region.
Featured artists: Danie Mellor, Karla Dickens, Gordon Bennett, Destiny Deacon, Treahna Hamm, Nicole Foreshew, and Kevin Gilbert
