after/image presents new work from artist and curator Brenda L Croft. Working with sites in the Goulburn Mulwaree region that connect directly to her family history, Croft offers a story of connection and distance, memory and loss over time. 

Croft is an artist from the Gurindji/Malngin/Mudburra Peoples from the Victoria River region of the Northern Territory of Australia, and has Anglo-Australian/British/ Chinese/German/Irish/Scottish heritage. Her practice has, for over four decades, explored the intersections of family/community, place, re/memorying and contested histories.

after/image will extend Croft’s ongoing practice of researching and honouring her matrilineal heritage, in particular her great-greatgrandmother Caroline Stephenson (and her family) with whom she shares a birthday (17 May 1857/1964), who lived and worked in the broader Goulburn region during the mid to late 19th century.
