Jessica Wells – Dimishing Species (2021)

Jessica Wells' Diminishing Species (2021) performed at The Surge, Ensemble Offspring's regional ACT & NSW tour, May 21 - June 5 2021.

About The Surge: The 1990s were a riot of transformation that redefined both Australia and the world. ‘Creative Nation’ announced the central role of art in life and society, while the Mabo decision set off a chain reaction culminating in Paul Keating’s historic Redfern Address and the Australian Parliament’s landmark Native Title Act in 1993. The internet began to insinuate itself into every corner of contemporary experience, reshaping everything it touched. The scientific community, meanwhile, spoke with increasing urgency of the mounting evidence of anthropogenic climate change, while politicians turned a deaf ear. Featuring works by Felicity Wilcox, Jessica Wells, Robert Davidson, Nigel Westlake and Peter Sculthorpe.
