Through a series of works interrogating Australia’s unresolved colonial identity, Di Mauro examines the contradictions of a nation that presents itself as modern and multicultural while remaining tethered to the symbols and systems of empire. The exhibition questions Australia’s continued allegiance to the British monarchy and Commonwealth, highlighting the tension between inherited power structures and contemporary lived realities.
Unsettled Ground invites audiences to imagine a future Australia that fully reflects its people—one free to define its identity without deference to colonial legacies.
