All Come Under - Darren Blackman, Zane Saunders + Bonemap

In a dimly lit, sparse room with peeling paint, an Indigenous man stands barefoot and poised against the wall, wearing a suit and traditional face paint. A figure in a vibrant red dress moves dynamically in the foreground, creating a blur of motion. Sunlight streams through the windows, casting dramatic shadows. This evocative scene is part of the *All Come Under* exhibition at the Court House Gallery, highlighting the collaboration and creative expression of artists Darren Blackman, Zane Saunders, and Bonemap.

A Cairns Indigenous Art Fair Satellite Exhibition


All Come Under is an exhibition by a collaboration of artists. Their friendship and respect for each other are collegial and affirm the power of creative expression to communicate.

When listening to Country, we all come under the relevance and currency of Indigenous cultural authority. Deep-seated governance systems established by Aboriginal people allow the respectful inhabitation of environments, land, water, and sky. It is essential that an ongoing connection and relationship to the Country, as experienced by the ancestors of this land, is again allowed to flourish. It is an opportunity to allow Country to speak to us.

Zane Saunders lives in Kuranda, Far North Queensland and is an Indigenous visual artist and performer, a descendant of Butchulla, Gunggari and Jarrowia People. Darren Blackman is an Gureng Gureng/Gangalu visual and sound artist. Bonemap’s Rebecca Youdell and Russell Milledge are partners who collaborate in producing dance, visual arts, and media arts.
