The exhibition project aims to turn the gaze upon all of us, through the lens of birds from the Corvidae family such as crows, ravens, rooks, jackdaws, jays, magpies, treepies, choughs, and nutcrackers.
Jessica Moore, Cultural Development Coordinator, Dubbo Regional Council, will officially open the exhibition by Kim V. Goldsmith.
The exhibition aims to present the landscape from the perspective of corvids, underpinned by scientific understandings.
The exhibition explores ancient stories of indigenous cultures, with the birds of the Corvidae family being highly symbolic.
The Corvidae bird family will be representing the presence of death, all-seeing knowledge, evil, good luck and protection.
It will showcase what might be revealed to us about the current state and future of our world through the eye the birds.
Ms Goldsmith is an artist and a lover of the natural environment who has had a long-held fascination with birds in her creative practice, for their role as indicators of the health of the environment, and how we interact with them based on the value we afford them.
The exhibition uses a selection of cameras, multi-channel video projection and sound equipment to show its audience the rural, peri-urban and urban landscapes of Australia and Iceland from the eye of the bird.
