‘Actional Attempt’ is a single-channel video that explores concepts of interdependence across borders/bodies/biomes. The video features Rowe-Fox’s interlocking concrete sculptures as a theoretical and tangible framework to explore fragile borders. Filmed at multiple sites across Boorloo where human and non-human entities intersect in ways that reflect conflicts of power and culture, Makaela Rowe-Fox explores visual entanglement and potential for action. ‘Actional Attempt’ considers, symbolically represents, and captures attempts at resistance, struggle, and subversion.

Alongside the exhibition, Rowe-Fox will present a community writing workshop, looking at cultural entanglement and symbiotic spaces.

“Actional Attempt’ features Lara Dorling, Victoire Hemedi, Sam Nerida, and Ella-Rose Trew.
