Long Journey Home: We Are Still Here revisits an image from the artist’s iconic photographic series of the same name, in which members of Clarke’s family are presented standing on the shore of Port Phillip Bay, wearing traditional kangaroo-skin cloaks and white river clay painted on their faces. Clarke has overlaid the image with a hand-drawn map and microgram of river reed, referencing the act of Boonwurrung People welcoming guests onto Country, and ensuring their safe passage.
