    Art, Culture and Ambiguity in Wilcannia New South Wales Lorraine Gibson

    Art, Culture and Ambiguity in Wilcannia New South Wales Lorraine Gibson Centre for Research on Social Inclusion, Macquarie University The claim of most town whites that Aboriginal people of Wilcannia make art but have no culture and the claim by Aboriginal people of the town that their art work and art designs demonstrate their culture and cultural traditions opens up the powerful and productive dimensions of art and culture for closer scrutiny. In so doing, the ambivalence and ambiguity which saturates these categories is ethnographically revealed. How can the presence and production of art-works in Wilcannia and the white denial of culture be considered? Why indeed do these questions matter, in what ways do they matter, and to whom do they matter? How do the categories of traditional/remote, urban/settled and their avatars intersect with black and white notions of Aboriginal art and Aboriginal culture discursively and experientially? In this paper, I demonstrate and articulate how the stereotypes of traditional/remote and urban/settled Aborigines resonate for Barkindji and non-Aboriginal people in and from Wilcannia, specifically as these relate to discourses of ‘art’ and ‘culture’. I seek to make explicit as well as problematise the ways in which lived culture bleeds into culture as a particular response; of how Barkindji people attune themselves to new demands in relation to local and wider public notions of culture and art and their associated terms. The problems that arise in the delineation of these categories are explored ethnographically, showing how any kind of discussion is inadequate to lived experience. I was working one day with a Barkindji1 artist and Wilcannia man outside Thankakali [your people my people] Aboriginal centre, a Community Development Employment Programme facility in Broken Hill.
