  • Just Not Australian Cultural Mediation Training Pack
    JUST NOT AUSTRALIAN Just Not Australian brings CULTURAL MEDIATION TRAINING PACK together 20 artists across generations and diverse cultural backgrounds to deal broadly with the origins and implications of contemporary Australian nationhood. The show engages with the moral and ethical undertones of the loaded rejoinder ‘un- Australian’ – a pejorative now embedded in our national vocabulary that continues to be used to further political agendas and to spread nationalistic ideals of what it means to be Australian. This training pack outlines how the practice of Cultural Mediation can be engaged to translate the broad themes and manage the difficult conversations that this exhibition may ignite, as well as provide a vocabulary and further reading to encourage an inclusive and culturally safe space.

  • Aboriginal Art Festival, Australia: New Generation of Central Desert Artists Captivating the Art World by Kathy Marks
    Aboriginal art festival, Australia: New generation of Central Desert artists captivating the art world By Kathy Marks Traveller, 11 September 2015 http://www.traveller.com.au/aboriginal-art--a-new-generation-of-central-desert-artists-gjeapv The sun-bleached scene is straight out of an Albert Namatjira painting: a dry creek bed in an ochre landscape dotted with rocky outcrops and stately ghost gums. But we’re not at Hermannsburg, the former Lutheran mission near Alice Springs where the celebrated Aboriginal artist produced his pastel-hued watercolours, but 500 kilometres to the south, where Namatjira’s great-grandson, Vincent, has settled after a turbulent early life marked by family tragedy and cultural dislocation. The 32-year-old is among a new generation of Central Desert artists whose work will be one of the highlights of the inaugural Festival of Contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art in Adelaide next month. He lives at Indulkana, one of a dozen communities sprinkled across the remote, beautiful and troubled Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands in South Australia’s far north-west. It’s an area which, as a lover of Aboriginal desert art, I’ve been hankering to visit for years. Now I’m rattling along a rough gravel road with the manager of Indulkana’s art centre, Beth Conway, who whips up clouds of red dust as she expertly dodges potholes and a pack of wild horses skittering across our path. We’re travelling with Nici Cumpston, the festival’s artistic director, and Nick Mitzevich, director of the Art Gallery of South Australia.
