Inside/Out – Mapping Spiritual Journeys
A Collaborative Print Project, InkMasters, Cairns
JUNE 18–JULY 6, 2013
Inside/Out was a selection of original prints by Aboriginal, Torres Straight Islander and non-indigenous artists.
They are based on the bi-horn shape of the metal breast plates, or ‘king plates’ awarded to indigenous leaders in colonial societies to facilitate cooperation and assuage the social effects of exploiting the land. The prints include old and new technologies and combinations of both, they also include collaborations between indigenous and non-indigenous artists.
I integrated my photographs documenting Burnum Burnum as he claimed England for the Australian Aboriginal people at Dover, England in1988 along with his Declaration, a counterpoint to the First Fleet re-enactment sailing into Sydney Harbour for Bi-centennial celebrations.
