Destiny Deacon: Walk & Don’t Look Blak

Following the success of Supernatural Artificial, this major retrospective prepared for the MCA in Sydney was shown to great interest at the major photography/new media museum in Tokyo.  This was the first survey by this leading Australian Indigenous artist to be shown in Japan. Spanning fifteen years of Deacon’s career, the exhibition highlighted photographic, video and installation works that established her in the Australian and international art worlds. The exhibition attracted nearly 10,000 visitors with 250 invited guests attending the opening reception.
