About Art Gallery of Ballarat Art Screen: Peter Waples-Crowe - Ngaya (I Am)
For Pride Month, the Gallery presents work by Peter Waples-Crowe. A proud Ngarigo man living in Naarm/Melbourne, Waples-Crowe makes art about the intersection of his First Nations and LGBTQI+ identity.

On top of a camp and humourous grab-bag of art history and archival video, Waples-Crowe inserts his own image as a counter to many decades of Aboriginal erasure from popular narratives of ski slopes and infrastructure.
