Unceded Seeded (Ngampa)
Brad Darkson
Commissioned by Guildhouse with support from a City of Adelaide Arts & Cultural grant, Brad Darkson has worked in consultation with Aunty Lynette Crocker, Ngangki Burka Senior Kaurna woman to create Unceded Seeded (Ngampa).
This artwork references the land on which it is installed. It acknowledges the Kaurna culture that has always existed within the land, and it highlights the need for everyone to walk and work together in healing Country. The use of neon in this instance acts as a beacon of truth, and in homage to the classic neon motel sign, the red and green allude to the aesthetic of ‘No Vacancy’.
