The Trouble with Art: The Difference Indigeneity Makes in the Visual Arts
This lecture represents some thoughts about the difference that Indigeneity makes - or the significance of Indigeneity - in one art field, namely that of the visual arts. It grew out of my own research and experience with the work coming from the remote community arts cooperative Papunya Tula Artists that has led me to following and collaborating with the circulation of this work within Australia and internationally.

Time: 6:00-7:30 pm
