amBUSH Gallery
aMBUSH Gallery, in partnership with Kambri at ANU, called on Australian-based artists to create contemplative and thought-provoking posters capturing the essence of this historic time, using the classic ‘Hero’s Journey’ narrative arc as a framework.
The posters prompt the gamut of emotions, from the irreverent and humorous ‘Crapfest 2020’ by Trevor McDonald to the highly commended ‘and I tried to tell the flower’ by Pascale Giorgi that comments on nature’s brilliant indifference to our upheaval, and the emotional and poignant ‘The Road of Hope’ by Stella Evans, which tells a visual tale of her family and their rural farming community’s battle with drought, and was ultimately chosen by an independent panel of art judges (Jaklyn Babington from National Gallery of Australia, Dr Erica Seccombe from the Australian National University School of Art & Design and Oscar Capezio from the Australian National University Art Collection) as the winner of the AU$3,000 cash prize.
