Main image:
Individuation, 2024–2025. From the Acceptance series. Michael Cook is an Australian photographic artist of Bidjara (south-western Queensland) heritage. Much of Cook’s work interrogates alternative histories, imagining a scenario in which Indigenous people make up most of the Australian population and non-Indigenous Australians are in the minority.
