A Sorrowful Act: The Wreck of the Zeewijk

This exhibition derives from a broader investigation within Drew Pettifer’s work to unearth hidden queer histories through archival art practices. Through photographs, video, audio and installation, this exhibition recontextualises social histories to help us rethink our present.

Sorrowful Act: The Wreck of the Zeewijk has been supported by Perth Institute for Contemporary Arts, Australia Council for the Arts, Kingdom of the Netherlands, RMIT University and the City of Melbourne.
