The Convincing Ground massacre took place on Allestree breach between a group of sailors and a Gunditjmara clan in 1833, however the exact date is uncertain and some people consider the Convincing Ground massacre a myth. Portland shore served the Gunditjmara people as a place of ocean abundance. The circumstances are that a whale had come on shore, and a Gunditjmara clan went to collect the meat as they had for thousands of years. A group of sailors protested they had ownership of the whale as Portland belonged to them now, and so a conflict started. Untitled (The circumstances are that a whale had come on shore) speaks to the murders of the Kilcarer Gunditj clan over the ownership of whale meat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63468bd0eb06a14c9eee0605/6794ddc4-5296-4378-afba-461c7193420a/UTSArt_HayleyMillar-Baker_130421_credit_JacquieManning-22.jpg A Series of Unwarranted Events - Make it stand out Untitled (So he mixed arsenic with half the flour and a raging thirst was created), pigment ink-jet print, 80 x 100 cm, 2018. The Murdering Flat massacre occurred in 1840 on Wannon River, killing dozens of Gunditjmara people. A hut keeper employed by the Henty brothers noticed that his monthly delivery of flour would often be the victim of theft at the hands of the local Aboriginal people. The Gunditjmara people would wait until the hutkeeper left his station and rob his hut of flour. The hut keeper became frustrated by the raids, so he mixed arsenic into the bags of flour. Untitled (So he mixed arsenic with half the flour, and a raging thirst was created) tells the story of the dozens of lost lives of the Gunditjmara people who had been poisoned making flour cakes down by Wannon River. The arsenic created an extreme thirst, forcing them to rush down to the river, where they drowned from the effects of the arsenic poisoning. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63468bd0eb06a14c9eee0605/c20305e7-f1cd-485c-b2ec-c8f5f4e1959d/UTSArt_HayleyMillar-Baker_130421_credit_JacquieManning-23.jpg A Series of Unwarranted Events - Make it stand out Untitled (The theft of the White men's sheep), pigment ink-jet print, 80 x 100 cm, 2018, The Eumeralla Wars began on Gunditjmara Country in 1834 and continued through to 1849. During this time of frontier violence, the Gunditjmara used the large expanse of volcanic hills as a base from which they would launch their attacks and revenge against the colonisers who dispossessed them. The Eumeralla Wars witnessed countless unprovoked and redundant killings upon the Gunditjmara, too often simply in the name of eliminating the Aboriginals from the Colonist view. Untitled (The theft of the White men's sheep) communicates stories of how the Gunditjmara would often capture livestock from the colonists’ settlements and return to camp through rocky terrain, deeming the colonisers incapable of retrieving their stock without injury. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63468bd0eb06a14c9eee0605/b803f282-104a-4c03-8683-23742069435b/UTSArt_HayleyMillar-Baker_130421_credit_JacquieManning-24.jpg A Series of Unwarranted Events - Make it stand out Untitled (The best means, of caring for, and dealing with them in the future), pigment ink-jet print, 80 x 100 cm, 2018. The Lake Condah Aboriginal Mission Station was built in 1867 under the leadership of the Church of England. The Church of England saw the mission as a means to ‘civilise’ the Gunditjmara people through the compulsion of Western education and Christianity. Its occupants were subject to strict regimes such as twice-daily prayers, church services and religious studies, all in the hopes of a successful assimilation. The missions’ governance executed brutal policies by denying work permits to the residents, providing rations as rewards rather than a right, and operating as an institution to house stolen children. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63468bd0eb06a14c9eee0605/c7ab152b-6891-44c9-8670-512c1eaa698b/IMG_3918.JPG A Series of Unwarranted Events - Make it stand out A Series of Unwarranted Events, Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, Australia. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63468bd0eb06a14c9eee0605/fc3a886c-c43d-4240-bc4d-8d49ae36912a/Install_-4-2.jpg A Series of Unwarranted Events - Make it stand out A Series of Unwarranted Events, Hamilton Gallery, Australia. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63468bd0eb06a14c9eee0605/9a220646-dc7a-4c81-9bab-fb7ddafb2ade/UTSArt_HayleyMillar-Baker_130421_credit_JacquieManning-11.jpg A Series of Unwarranted Events - Make it stand out A Series of Unwarranted Events, UTS Gallery, Australia. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63468bd0eb06a14c9eee0605/c7ab152b-6891-44c9-8670-512c1eaa698b/IMG_3918.JPG A Series of Unwarranted Events - Make it stand out A Series of Unwarranted Events, Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, Australia. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63468bd0eb06a14c9eee0605/3c7a7901-8cb0-4544-9b6c-f51237a77c74/UTSArt_HayleyMillar-Baker_130421_credit_JacquieManning-21.jpg A Series of Unwarranted Events - Make it stand out The Convincing Ground massacre took place on Allestree breach between a group of sailors and a Gunditjmara clan in 1833, however the exact date is uncertain and some people consider the Convincing Ground massacre a myth. Portland shore served the Gunditjmara people as a place of ocean abundance. The circumstances are that a whale had come on shore, and a Gunditjmara clan went to collect the meat as they had for thousands of years. A group of sailors protested they had ownership of the whale as Portland belonged to them now, and so a conflict started. Untitled (The circumstances are that a whale had come on shore) speaks to the murders of the Kilcarer Gunditj clan over the ownership of whale meat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63468bd0eb06a14c9eee0605/6794ddc4-5296-4378-afba-461c7193420a/UTSArt_HayleyMillar-Baker_130421_credit_JacquieManning-22.jpg A Series of Unwarranted Events - Make it stand out The Murdering Flat massacre occurred in 1840 on Wannon River, killing dozens of Gunditjmara people. A hut keeper employed by the Henty brothers noticed that his monthly delivery of flour would often be the victim of theft at the hands of the local Aboriginal people. The Gunditjmara people would wait until the hutkeeper left his station and rob his hut of flour. The hut keeper became frustrated by the raids, so he mixed arsenic into the bags of flour. Untitled (So he mixed arsenic with half the flour, and a raging thirst was created) tells the story of the dozens of lost lives of the Gunditjmara people who had been poisoned making flour cakes down by Wannon River. The arsenic created an extreme thirst, forcing them to rush down to the river, where they drowned from the effects of the arsenic poisoning. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63468bd0eb06a14c9eee0605/c20305e7-f1cd-485c-b2ec-c8f5f4e1959d/UTSArt_HayleyMillar-Baker_130421_credit_JacquieManning-23.jpg A Series of Unwarranted Events - Make it stand out The Eumeralla Wars began on Gunditjmara Country in 1834 and continued through to 1849. During this time of frontier violence, the Gunditjmara used the large expanse of volcanic hills as a base from which they would launch their attacks and revenge against the colonisers who dispossessed them. The Eumeralla Wars witnessed countless unprovoked and redundant killings upon the Gunditjmara, too often simply in the name of eliminating the Aboriginals from the Colonist view. Untitled (The theft of the White men's sheep) communicates stories of how the Gunditjmara would often capture livestock from the colonists’ settlements and return to camp through rocky terrain, deeming the colonisers incapable of retrieving their stock without injury. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63468bd0eb06a14c9eee0605/b803f282-104a-4c03-8683-23742069435b/UTSArt_HayleyMillar-Baker_130421_credit_JacquieManning-24.jpg A Series of Unwarranted Events - Make it stand out The Lake Condah Aboriginal Mission Station was built in 1867 under the leadership of the Church of England. The Church of England saw the mission as a means to ‘civilise’ the Gunditjmara people through the compulsion of Western education and Christianity. Its occupants were subject to strict regimes such as twice-daily prayers, church services and religious studies, all in the hopes of a successful assimilation.

Collectively, these artists offer compelling visual imagery necessary for picturing the Anthropocene: aerial views of beautiful but toxic sites, collages that incorporate archival photographs to counter colonial narratives, depictions of urbanism on an unimaginable scale, and imagined yet precarious futures. In doing so, they address urgent issues such as vanishing ice, rising waters, and increasing resource extraction, as well as the deeply rooted and painful legacies of colonialism, forced climate migration, and socio-environmental trauma.

For millennia hair has been a resonant and compelling site of meaning, transmitting ideas about gender, mythology, status and power, the body, psychology, feminism and notions of beauty.

Taking its title from the French word ‘Entr’acte’ – denoting the interlude between two acts of a play, Millar Baker's work revolves around a female protagonist. This symbolic figure represents the myriad struggles and challenges faced by women across diverse experiences, identities, and roles.

Home to the oldest continuing cultures in the world, an ongoing settler colony since 1788, and with a contemporary flow of global migration that breaks the historical idea on which Australia was founded as a nation at the beginning of the 20th century – that it would be a home for white people. This idea has lingered for a century despite Australia neighbouring Southeast Asia. If the world is to mean anything… is a series of works that respond to the contradictory layers of a landmass that is a microcosm of larger questions that are gripping the world. The artists collectively use the building blocks of filmmaking to think through the contemporary legacies of colonisation, finding voices from outside of the Euro-American power bloc and navigating the felt realities of anti-migration rhetoric.

Hayley Millar Baker on purposefully eluding any particular era in photography Between 2016 and 2019, Gunditjmara artist Hayley Millar Baker created five photographic series in black and white. Appropriating and citing images and research from history, alongside digital editing to create layered assemblages, Millar Baker’s images speak to Aboriginal experiences and build a complex conversation on time, memory, and identity. These exquisite images were shown in a 2022 survey exhibition at Flinders University Museum of Art titled There we were all in one place. We asked Millar Baker 20 quick questions about the exhibition and her art experiences. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63468bd0eb06a14c9eee0605/5a5f58a1-5b2a-4da8-9453-284923a1ceee/Screenshot+2024-04-29+at+5.19.43%E2%80%AFPM.png News - Make it stand out Hayley Millar Baker features in the Perth Festival at the Fremantal Arts Centre in Other Horizons curated by Glenn Iseger-Pilkington. Journeys under a shared sky, across vast seas to the continent we now call Australia, some revealing the terror of slavery, others focussing in on early migration histories, are offered alongside cinematic depictions of contemporary First Nations ritual, spirituality, and power in Other Horizons. Celebrating the works of First Nations women and women of colour, Other Horizons is comprised of three independent artist projects from Atong Atem, Hayley Millar Baker, and Jasmine Togo-Brisby. It offers consideration and nuance to discussions around sovereignty, colonial adventure, migration, national identity, and belonging in contemporary Australia. Collectively, the three projects that make up Other Horizons explore varied experiences of, and reflections upon, belonging in the context of Australia. From enduring attachments to Country founded in thousands of years of custodianship to those borne of the colonial adventure or more recent diaspora, this exhibition is a timely reminder of the many ways we connect with and belong to this place we call Australia, exploring the stories that comprise a complex, and often fractured, national identity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63468bd0eb06a14c9eee0605/490224bf-63c9-4db7-a7c9-e9e5a557eade/Screenshot+2024-04-29+at+4.03.10%E2%80%AFPM.png News - Make it stand out Tiarney Miekus looks ahead to 2023 and selects what she’s looking forward to in the coming year. Although Gunditjmara and Djabwurrung artist Hayley Millar Baker is foremost known for her poignant black-and-white photographs exploring memory, identity and Aboriginal experiences, she recently delved into video, creating the cinematic work Nyctinasty. The short film was first shown at the National Gallery of Australia for the 4th National Indigenous Triennial: Ceremony and will also screen at Gertrude Contemporary. Nyctinasty is extremely personal, expressing Baker’s own experiences of self-preservation and the links between the physical and spiritual worlds. It looks at the big questions — the connections between life, death and the afterlife — but also delves into her own psyche and domestic sphere. By further looking at female strength through tropes of the horror genre, Baker centres women’s empowerment alongside histories of magic and spirituality; the intimate is a form of wider revelation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63468bd0eb06a14c9eee0605/61130155-e937-4ae2-8073-919390d97b73/Screenshot+2024-04-29+at+3.46.43%E2%80%AFPM.png News - Make it stand out Hayley Millar Baker’s early-career survey exhibition There We Were All In One Place catalogue won Highly Commended in the 2022 AAANZ AWAPA award for Art Writing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63468bd0eb06a14c9eee0605/b3a574f2-864c-42aa-8fbb-b83295eabf56/Screenshot+2024-04-29+at+2.41.32%E2%80%AFPM.png News - Make it stand out Monash University is proud to announce Gunditjmara artist Hayley Millar Baker has been selected to be artist-in-residence at the Monash University Prato Centre in 2020.

From 2016 to 2019, Hayley Millar Baker (Gunditjmara, AU) produced five photographic series.

Her work is informed by her Gunditjmara and cross-cultural heritage, grounded in historical archive research, and guided by a non-linear form of storytelling that sees past, present, and future as an unbroken continuum. Curated by Stella Rosa McDonald, There We Were All in One Place brings these five bodies of work together for the first time to consider how Millar Baker uses photography and storytelling to re-author history and assert the authority of memory and experience across generations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63468bd0eb06a14c9eee0605/e0e34bfd-1739-460f-afc1-058dc7762030/Screenshot+2024-04-29+at+2.38.43%E2%80%AFPM.png News - Make it stand out We are delighted to announce that Hayley Millar Baker has been awarded the inaugural Photography Fellowship.

The practice gained prominence during the Spiritualism movement that began in the mid-1800s. Examples include the British medium Georgiana Houghton, who, in the 1860s, created intricate abstract watercolours—“automatic drawings” created decades before abstraction was popularised. Another notable example: Swedish artist Hilma af Klint, who also pioneered abstract art, creating massive geometric paintings she claimed were dictated by various spirits. Often called “spirit art” or “psychic painting,” the modern iteration of spirit portraiture—art in which the creator is viewed as a vessel—includes Stone, Melbourne-based artist Hayley Millar Baker, and Richard Stuttle, who helps connect people with deceased loved ones through his work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63468bd0eb06a14c9eee0605/1e5a418e-305b-41ac-9624-0a325e1b0ea3/Screenshot+2025-11-20+at+8.46.37%E2%80%AFpm.png News - Make it stand out NOVEMBER 20, 2025 Traversing geographies, cultures and mediums, MOTHER presents diverse stories drawn from across the NGV Collection.

Comprised of forty-five photo-based artists, including Hayley Millar Baker, working in a variety of artistic methods from studios and sites across the globe, Second Nature explores the complexities of this proposed new age. Collectively, these artists offer compelling visual imagery necessary for picturing the Anthropocene: aerial views of beautiful but toxic sites, collages incorporating archival photographs to counter colonial narratives, depictions of urbanism on an unimaginable scale, and imagined yet precarious futures. In doing so, they address urgent issues such as vanishing ice, rising waters, and increasing resource extraction, as well as the deeply rooted and painful legacies of colonialism, forced climate migration, and socio-environmental trauma. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63468bd0eb06a14c9eee0605/08c30e77-3b3b-407f-87af-fc26fe872d63/Screenshot+2024-05-09+at+4.39.43%E2%80%AFPM.png News - Make it stand out MAY, 2024 In this conversation with HOWL Magazine Issue 03 Chapter 1, Hayley Millar Baker is open about her unprocessed grief and rage over the No Vote on the Voice to Parliament and her focus on standing with the Palestinian people.

For millennia hair has been a resonant and compelling site of meaning, transmitting ideas about gender, mythology, status and power, the body, psychology, feminism and notions of beauty. At once radiant and repellent, and often richly symbolic, it has always assumed a particular importance in relation to the self, history and society. This exhibition examines the myriad ways in which artists utilise hair to investigate and conjure generative and even magical possibilities encompassing growth, empowerment and transformation.

Celebrating the works of First Nations women and women of colour, Other Horizons is comprised of three independent artist projects from Atong Atem, Hayley Millar Baker, and Jasmine Togo-Brisby.

Although Gunditjmara and Djabwurrung artist Hayley Millar Baker is foremost known for her poignant black-and-white photographs exploring memory, identity, and Aboriginal experiences, she recently delved into video, creating the cinematic work Nyctinasty. The short film was first shown at the National Gallery of Australia for the 4th National Indigenous Triennial: Ceremony and will also screen at Gertrude Contemporary. Nyctinasty is extremely personal, expressing Baker’s own experiences of self-preservation and the links between the physical and spiritual worlds. It looks at the big questions — the connections between life, death, and the afterlife — but also delves into her own psyche and domestic sphere. By further looking at female strength through tropes of the horror genre, Baker centres women’s empowerment alongside histories of magic and spirituality; the intimate is a form of wider revelation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63468bd0eb06a14c9eee0605/61130155-e937-4ae2-8073-919390d97b73/Screenshot+2024-04-29+at+3.46.43%E2%80%AFPM.png News - Make it stand out DECEMBER 16, 2022 Hayley Millar Baker’s early-career survey exhibition There We Were All In One Place catalogue won Highly Commended in the 2022 AAANZ AWAPA award for Art Writing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63468bd0eb06a14c9eee0605/9657801e-6216-4c60-90f6-55dfd801a134/Screenshot+2024-04-29+at+6.29.01%E2%80%AFPM.png News - Make it stand out NOVEMBER 11, 2022 (AFTER)CARE TRAUMA .

This issue explores the role of responsibility in the process of photography. Many questions are raised in this issue: how do we portray our deepest wounds? What is the significance of vulnerability in the creation of photographs? How can we ensure that the violence of the world is not repeated through the violence of images? This issue of The Eyes features a variety of works and books by artists who all represent, in their own way, a practice of “photographic care”. The works address subjects as diverse as colonial wars, natural disasters, sexual and gender violence, and disability. Texts and interviews with researchers and artists broaden the reflection on this subject, which is as yet little discussed.

Curated by Stella Rosa McDonald, it brings these five bodies of work together for the first time to consider how Millar Baker uses photography and storytelling to re-author history and assert the authority of memory and experience across generations. From 2016 to 2019, Hayley Millar Baker (Gunditjmara, AU) produced five photographic series. Made almost exclusively in black and white, the photographs use historical re-appropriation and citation, in tandem with digital editing and archival research, to consider human experiences of time, memory, and place. Millar Baker’s layered photographic assemblages affirm the Aboriginal experience and culture within the Australian Imaginary to form a complex image narrative of place, family, identity, and survival. Her work is informed by her Gunditjmara and cross-cultural heritage, grounded in historical archive research, and guided by a non-linear form of storytelling that sees past, present, and future as an unbroken continuum. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63468bd0eb06a14c9eee0605/e0e34bfd-1739-460f-afc1-058dc7762030/Screenshot+2024-04-29+at+2.38.43%E2%80%AFPM.png News - Make it stand out NOVEMBER 2019 We are delighted to announce that Hayley Millar Baker has been awarded the inaugural Photography Fellowship.

Seven are in line with the typically bright and colourful designs seen in previous years, and one even uses augmented-reality technology. But perhaps the most striking is a monochrome photo assemblage from Gunditjmara artist Hayley Millar Baker. Made up of about 28 individual photographs Millar Baker took of landscapes and native animals and archival images from her mother’s childhood, the work is designed to remind viewers that Country was – and always will be – below the asphalt, buildings, and tram tracks covering it. Even the way the weight of Melbourne’s trams is represented by a foreign emblem, such as a skateboarding rhino, rather than native prehistoric mega-fauna, is subtly symptomatic of how pre-European Australia can be ignored. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63468bd0eb06a14c9eee0605/7c3c67ea-d93e-43b0-a676-721d8e192b6e/Screenshot+2024-04-29+at+4.13.27%E2%80%AFPM.png News - Make it stand out APRIL 28, 2018 Unsettlement is an international group exhibition that explores the ways that power manifests through architecture and in the built environment. The artworks presented register the material force and histories of architecture and encourage a productive sense of upheaval and re-appraisal. Unsettlement features artists from Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, the United States of America, Italy, the United Kingdom, Iraq, Slovenia, and Australia. Through their engagement with specific architectural forms, the works in the exhibition offer insights into distinct cultural contexts, histories, and social struggles. A number of defining characteristics of our contemporary condition emerge; namely the effects of accelerating globalisation and mass urbanisation, the legacies of colonial occupation across the world, and the control enacted by state and economic infrastructures. Artists: Dana Awartani, Monica Bonvicini, Aliansyah Caniago, Jasmina Cibic, Forensic Architecture, Hiwa K, Jill Magid, Hayley Millar Baker, Archie Moore and Amie Siegel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63468bd0eb06a14c9eee0605/4ab7a69d-233f-4de0-a236-560892b06c21/Screenshot+2024-04-29+at+1.54.58%E2%80%AFPM.png News - Make it stand out NOVEMBER 14, 2017 The Churchie Special Commendation prize of $5,000, sponsored by NK Orthodontist, was awarded to Hayley Millar Baker for her series of three photographic collages, Even if the race is fated to disappear (Peeneeyt meerreeng / Before, now, tomorrow) 2017. Established in 1987, ‘the churchie’ has developed as one of Australia’s ‘to watch’ prizes, promising a glimpse into the future of the nation’s contemporary art scene. In 2017, as ‘the churchie’ celebrates 30 years, QUT Art Museum has taken on the role of exhibition partner for the second year in a row. Throughout the exhibition process, artists worked closely with the exhibition curator to bring a selection of their works to the public. From over 900 artworks submitted from around 400 entrants, 30 emerging artists were selected as finalists for ‘the churchie’ in 2017. Finalists were selected by a panel comprising Vicky Leighton, Head of Art, Anglican Church Grammar School; Abigail Bernal, Assistant Curator of International Art at QAGOMA; and Kevin Wilson, Curator, QUT Art Museum. An exhibition of the finalists’ work can be seen at QUT Art Museum in Brisbane until 17 December. https://www.hayleymillarbaker.com/home daily 1.0 2026-03-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63468bd0eb06a14c9eee0605/d0701ea3-10a5-40e6-85a0-63cdec621ce2/I+hold+my+breath.jpg home https://www.hayleymillarbaker.com/eternity-the-butterfly daily 0.75 2026-03-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63468bd0eb06a14c9eee0605/ea8f7432-4c2d-4580-a934-7f63f18ac1f7/25-7_Buxton-Veils_133.jpg Eternity the Butterfly - Make it stand out Eternity the Butterfly, Buxton Contemporary, Melbourne, Australia.
