Post Truth by Darren Blackman
Onespace proudly showcased Darren Blackman’s Post Truth at the 2025 Cairns Indigenous Art Fair (CIAF). The exhibition has travelled to Brisbane after the Fair, ensuring Blackman’s poetic words are seen across Queensland. Post Truth responds to the 2025 CIAF theme Pay Attention! by embracing the call to stay alert, informed, and critically engaged with the political and social forces that shape our lives. Blackman’s politically charged works are grounded in cultural practice and reimagined as LED neon text-based sculptures. They disarm the viewer through wit, vibrancy and his unique play on words.
Letters Home by Sam Harrison
Letters Home is a new body of work by Sam Harrison that explores the loss of language that is necessary to communicate something that is internally and intimately understood. The work questions if colonial languages hold within them the capacity to express experiences so far removed from colonial belief systems. It reflects on how the structure of language embodies the moral and philosophical beliefs of the culture it comes from. How do the words we chose to make reflect who we are?
