ONLINE Cath Cocker – Enlightenment and other catastrophes
*** Please visit www.depotartspacegallery.com to view the exhibition online due to the recent lockdown ***
Cath Cocker’s works are suggestive of the bible’s role as a tool in the so-called “civilising missions” of the 19th century. Through allegory, Cocker argues that Enlightenment ideals, nationalism, and Christian doctrine jointly acted as justification for the colonisation of the Pacific Islands and parts of the British Isles.
