BOMB, a “multimedia spectacle”, was launched by the Mayor of Utrecht, with an address on “Art and Activism in the Age of Globalisation” by philosopher, author and art historian Lieven De Cauter.
Blak Douglas said: “During what has been an incredibly tense build-up over a period of two weeks, the job is finally done … We’ve been so fortunate that we’ve been slotted into the celebrations of the 300th anniversary of the Treaty of Utrecht [1713].”
Themes depicted in the show include extreme nationalism, racism, discrimination, xenophobia, and the tokenism and corporatisation of Aboriginal art and culture.
