DESCRIPTION:As part of the Just Not Australian exhibition\, NorthSite Contemporary Arts will be screening TERROR NULLIUS by Soda Jerk. \nMA 15 + | 54mins\nTERROR NULLIUS is in conjunction with the exhibition Just Not Australian showing at NorthSite Contemporary Arts. Presented in partnership with End Credits Film Club.\nPart political satire\, eco-horror and road movie\, TERROR NULLIUS is a political revenge fable that offers an unwriting of Australian national mythologies. Binding together a documentary impulse with the bent plotlines of Australian film texts\, Soda Jerk’s revisionist history opens a wilful narrative space where cinema fictions and historical facts permeate each other in new ways.\nThe apocalyptic desert camps of Mad Max 2 become the site of refugee detention\, flesh-eating sheep are recast as anti-colonial insurgents and a feminist motorcycle gang goes vigilante on Mel Gibson.\nBookings are essential: Please ensure you book through the Eventbrite link below and select your preferred screening time when registering for the event. \nDate: Friday 3rd of December 2021 \nLocation: Bulmba-ja\, 96 Abbott Street\, Cairns City\, QLD 4870 \nFirst Screening: 5:45PM — 6:50PM\nSecond Screening: 7:15PM — 8:20PM \nSoda Jerk is a two-person art collective who work at the intersection of documentary and speculative fiction. \nImage Credit: Soda Jerk\, TERROR NULLIUS\, 2018\, installation view\, Just Not Australian\, Artspace\, Sydney\, 2019.

SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening Donna Davis 'When A Tree Falls' & Kate Robertson 'Kuna Siuwai Pokong - Medicinal Plants from Siwai'
DESCRIPTION:The Board of NorthSite Contemporary Arts\, Acting Director Michael Marzik and staff welcome you to attend the opening event for Donna Davis When A Tree Falls & Kate Robertson Kuna Siuwai Pokong – Medicinal Plants from Siwai. \nFriday 07 May 2021 \n6:00 pm Arrival at Bulmba-ja\, NorthSite Contemporary Arts  \n6:30 pm Welcome to Country by Carl Fourmile of Minjil \n6:45 pm Opened by Ashleigh Campbell Director NorthSite Contemporary Arts \nBar will be open from 6:00 pm \nClick here to RSVP by 6 May 2021 \nPlease note: This is strictly a ticketed event. All guests must RSVP for COVID Contract Tracing Records and to ensure the maximum capicity of 1 person per 2sq mtrs in the gallery for social distancing. \nIf you would like to book a ticket for a friend or family member (including children) please RSVP for each person separately with their name and contact email or forward the eventbrite link so they may RSVP personally. \nIf you book a ticket and are unable to attend\, please cancel your ticket so that it becomes available for another booking.  \nOnce you have booked a ticket you will recieve an email confirmation of your booking and your name will be added to the guest list.  \nThis event complies with Stage 6 Queensland State Government COVID safe guidelines. \n\nA little more about the exhibitions\, \nKate Robertson Kuna Siuwai Pokong – Medicinal Plants from Siwai \nThis exhibition chronicles plants and their medicinal properties from the Siwai region of Bougainville Island\, an autonomous region of Papua New Guinea\, through photographic light recordings. \nConcerned with the erosion of tacit traditional medicinal knowledge\, Chief Alex Dawia of the Taa Lupumoiku Clan approached and invited Australian artist Kate Robertson to chronicle Siwai plant knowledge for preservation. Chief Jeffrey Noro of the Rura Clan\, also from Siwai\, joined their efforts\, motivated by similar concerns to preserve tacit knowledge systems and provide positive recognition of their region. \nOver five years\, the project has evolved to include photographic prints\, an embroidered fabric panel and a published book to explore how cross-cultural projects can provide mutual benefits through repatriation and transparency. Ultimately\, it is a holistic inquiry into how we might work together across territorial borders\, cultures and skillsets to achieve a shared future. \nDonna Davis When A Tree Falls  \nThis playful yet reflective exhibition speaks of climate-induced flora displacement\, hidden ecological players and the human; exploring imagined ecological-adaptations\, ecological hierarchies and the idea of kin. \nThe works respond to current artist-residencies embedded within state and international science projects based in far North Queensland that explore the issue of rising temperatures from different perspectives. There is a long history of artists documenting scientific endeavors\, however this exhibition extends beyond documentation\, using sculpture\, stop-frame animation\, digital media\, and installation to explore interspecies relationships and perceived notions of hierarchy within ecological systems. \nBoth residencies examine the issue of climate change; the Tropical Mountain Plant Science project\, led by the Australian Tropical Herbarium\, is a result of consequence\, undertaking a real-time rescue mission to save vulnerable mountain top flora from extinction with project partners cultivating the rescued plants in temperate zone Botanic Gardens\, thousands of kilometres from their natural home. Whereas\, the Wood\, Termite\, Fungi project\, led by George Washington University\, examines hidden players in the carbon cycle to model impacts of rising temperatures on the decomposition cycle. \nThe main theme that flows through the exhibition is ecological cause and effect through a multi-species lens\, examining human and nonhuman hierarchal structures; ultimately seeking to empower a call to action to reconsider how we treat our kin\, of all species. \nWe look forward to welcoming you to the Gallery! \nNorthSite Team \nImage Credits:  \nDonna Davis\, Displaced [TransPLANT IV] (detail)\, (animation still)\, 2021\, single channel video installation \nKate Robertson\, HONDO (detail)\, 2016\, archival pigment print\, 28 x 48 cm
