Catalogue of Black Mist Burnt Country, a national touring exhibition produced by Burrinja Cultural Centre in Upwey, Victoria.
It commemorates the British atomic test series in Australia in the 1950s through the artworks from public and private collections by Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists with works across the mediums of painting, printmaking, sculpture, photography, music and new media spanning seven decades. Black Mist Burnt Country references several notable non-Indigenous artists, yet it is the works by Aboriginal artists that carry greater weight, for the burden fell heavily on First Nation people.
