Funded Activity Summary

Unsettling Histories: Australian Indigenous Modes of Historical Practice. This investigation of indigenous Australian historical practices seeks to find fresh perspectives and constructive methods of collaboration and historical innovation. By extending Nabokov's work on American Indian ?ways of history?, this trans-national project explores multi-dimensional and -sensory modes of historical delivery. These include visual, musical, material culture, museum and 'traveling through country' mediums. Outcomes include a major book, exhibition briefs and collections papers, significant historical exchange meetings, content for a television series and website. Collaborative research between academic and community-based experts and performers will provide new understandings of indigenous history and signal future directions for rethinking historical practices.
