First performed in 2008, Jacky Jacky in the Box is a confronting performance in which an Aboriginal performer goes on display in the museum galleries, challenging audiences to reconsider perceptions of Indigenous Australia as an anthropological curiosity. Take a look inside Ilbijerri's glass museum cabinets at Bunjilaka and you won't see a boomerang, a stone tool or a black statue in a lap. You might see a young professional in a three-piece suit. You might see a girl listening to an ipod. You might see more than you bargained for. Jacky Jacky in the Box is showing for three days only as part of the exhibition 20 Years: Bold. Black. Brilliant.
