Abstract
This exhibition presents the culmination of a year long residency with CCAS spent trawling through public archives. Loughheads exhibition Populate or Perish! is a visual survey of the Bonegilla Migrant Reception and Training Centre, active in Albury-Wodonga from 1947 - 70. Anja Loughhead uses newspaper clippings and found photographs to reveal a sinister undercurrent in Australia's migration history. With a dry sense of humour Loughheads body of work is a never ending sneer at the way in which Australia continues to record and transmit its history through publication.
