Sydney Road Blaks: Blak Mobility and Settler Surveillance.
[Show/Exhibition]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This exhibition of works by Aboriginal, Torres Strait and South Sea Islander artists examined a 19th century historical incident in Sydney Road in Melbourne, Australia which raised themes of settler surveillance, racial hierarchy between white settlers, Aboriginal peoples and Pacific Islanders, and the underlying colonial networks of capitalism and dispossession that brought these groups into contact. Research aspects included interpreting primary source material, creative responses to the history informed by Indigenous standpoints, and dialogue between artists and curators on ongoing Aboriginal and Pacific Islander relationality.
