Experience an accessible 3D photography exhibition detailing personal stories from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples living with disabilities across Australia.Unfinished Businessbrings together the voices of 30 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people living with disabilities from remote, regional, and urban communities across Australia. Honouring story-telling truths, the exhibition is a thought-provoking recognition of the ongoing impact of colonisation, and a call for meaningful social and systemic change.
Each participant determined how their visual story would be shared, using their own words, chosen narrators and imagery to give audiences direct insight into their personal experiences. Utilising the 3D-effect of lenticular photography, which creates an illusion of depth, movement and transformation, and documentary film, each image demonstrates the diversity of disability.
This powerful body of work was created by Sydney-based human rights documentarian Belinda Mason OAM and her sons Dieter and Liam Knierim. Unfinished Business also raises the bar on accessibility through creating a carefully considered exhibition space. Designed for an inclusive experience, audiences are invited to engage through multiple sensory elements, including tactile panels, audio descriptions, online resources, and Auslan content. Please note: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples should be advised there are names, images and voices depicting deceased persons.
