Funded Activity Summary

Place and displacement in Aboriginal Australia: a Warlpiri visual cultural enquiry. At a time of social turbulence and hyper-mobility, this project examines Aboriginal people’s transforming relationships to place. From ancestral places to the nation and beyond, it analyses how Warlpiri people of central Australia have pictured themselves in the world. Spanning sixty years of dynamic visual production, this project explores relationships between modes of governance, cultures of seeing, and Warlpiri creative practices. It uniquely blends anthropology with analytic insights from visual studies and history. Utilising rich visual materials, research outputs will include innovative exhibitions and offer fresh perspectives on protracted national debates about the future of remote Aboriginal communities.
