Thinking of Place IV: Fleet, is a collaboration between eleven printmaking groups in a cross-cultural dialogue with the aim of creating eleven vessels, each in six parts. Linking together via the common motif of a ship or boat the works are imagined, emblematic or referencing an actual vessel as a powerful symbol of journey, transience, crossing boundaries, traversing spaces and fostering cultural connections. The full fleet of vessels serves as a visual metaphor for diverse perspectives coming together to form a cohesive unit.

The works were created by sixty-six artists from across the globe including the Goldfields Printmakers and Melbourne Printmakers, North Island Printmakers and Otautahi Printmakers, Printmakers East to West, Flying Proa: Taotao Tasi, Funen Printmakers, Limerick Printmakers, +C4-, Canada West Studios, and Anatolian Printmakers.

Acknowledgement of Country

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
