Brook Andrew is an Australian Wiradjuri artist, writer and curator who is driven by the collisions of intertwined narratives, often emerging from the mess of what he calls the “Colonial Wuba (hole)”. His interdisciplinary practice harnesses alternative narratives to explore the legacies of colonisation and modernism. His artworks, museum interventions and curatorial projects challenge the limitations imposed by power structures, historical amnesia, stereotyping and complicity to centre Indigenous perspectives. Apart from drawing inspiration from vernacular objects and the archive he travels internationally to work with artists, communities and various private and public collections.
