Australian Psyche

Australia. The Antipodes. The gothic dungeon at the bottom of the world. Where swans are black instead of white. Where colonisers brought their own dark subconscious and had it realised huge and grotesque on the landscape. 

This series will examine colonial and post-colonial history to understand where we’ve come from and how this shapes who we are today. How did we get from there to here? And after such bloody beginnings, what spectres still haunt the Australian subconscious? 

Who are the Ghosts of the Australian Psyche?
