PRIDE is the first major presentation of Ngarigo artist Peter Waples-Crowe’s work in South Australia.
“I see my Aboriginalness and queerness all wrapped in my spirit” – Peter Waples-Crowe.
PRIDE is the first major presentation of Ngarigo artist Peter Waples-Crowe’s work in South Australia. An unapologetic celebration, PRIDE brings Aboriginal queer visibility to the fore and highlights Peter’s dedication to community.
Working across drawing, collage, sculpture and moving image, Peter’s practice is largely based on personal experiences as influenced by his adoption and reconnection with his Ngarigo heritage, and over 25 years experience as a community health worker within Aboriginal and LGBTQIA2+ health. His work is a deep commentary on the world as a contested site for his multiple identities. Heavily used throughout his work are depictions of Dingoes, a totemic figure and an analogy of survival for queer outsiders.
