Welcome

Eliza Tree – artist and expeditioner, community activist and environmentalist.

I combine my creative passion, academic historical research, and deep concern for the climate crisis to explore culture, ecology, and landscape. My visual arts practice is of multi-disciplinary enquiry, drawing upon historical documents, contemporary sources, images, maps, and journals, to challenge the meta-narrative of colonialism in early Australia, particularly Victoria.


OPEN STUDIO EXHIBITION

TO BOTANY BAY? #2

As an Artist and Expeditioner, Eliza travels through maps and text, space and time, exploring ideas and realms – seeking to understand the Colonial Invasion of Australia, via Botany Bay. This exhibition represents the latest chapter in a fascinating journey towards addressing Colonial Denialism, instead, looking towards historical revisionist Truth Telling.

Eliza is a well known passionate local artist and activist who has participated in many Arts Open, and Castlemaine State Festival Exhibitions.

STUDIO 137 MOSTYN ST, DJARRA COUNTRY CASTLEMAINE 9-11 MAR , 16-17 MAR, 10-4PM

Acknowledgment of Country

I wish to acknowledge that I live and work on Djaara Country, the homelands of the Dja Dja Wurrung Peoples, who have lived on and cared for this Country since time immemorial. I pay respect for their elders past, present and emerging. I respect and appreciate the Peoples and ancestors, their lands and water, birds, plants and animals who have lived in harmony for millennia. We will continue to respect and protect. Sovereignty was never ceded. As was, and always will be, Aboriginal land.
