Destiny took aim at one of the biggest pop cultural icons of Western capitalism – Mickey Mouse. In Destiny’s retelling, a Blak Minnie Mouse smiles from beneath a pair of souvenir-style Mickey ears, wearing a yellow velour top and blue skirt with white garters peeking from beneath. True to her caustic wit, Destiny has titled the work, Where’s Mickey? The answer is dead on the ground, making way for First Peoples in mainstream pop culture.
