Its strongest passages attend to places such as the Old Windmill, where picturesque familiarity is forced back into contact with colonial violence and First Nations resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is both local and methodological: a study of how looking can become historical inquiry, and how apparently ordinary images begin to speak once their silences are taken seriously. For readers interested in contemporary Australian art, Brisbane history, visual culture and the politics of place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMuseum of Brisbane, 2022.
