Kait James
‘UPCOMING’
Brunswick
15 Nov.–18 Dec.
2024

Kait James is a proud Wadawurrung artist whose work challenges Indigenous culture stereotypes through her Indigenous and Anglo heritage. Predominantly working with textiles, James’s work combines fabric collage, embroidery, rug tufting techniques, and incorporating ‘Aboriginalia’, which generalises and stereotypes Indigenous culture. By combining these kitsch ‘souvenirs’—that diminish and homogenise Aboriginal identity—with pop-cultural and political references, subverting colonial conceptions and questioning the collective lack of knowledge of Indigenous culture in Australian society. While creating works that are potent and politically charged, James endeavours to navigate injustices with optimism and humour, ultimately speaking of hope, resilience, and self-determination.
