Funded Activity Summary

A study of Indigenous art in settled Australia. This project will assemble the first comprehensive data on Indigenous artists who operate outside the areas of Central and Northern Australia generally regarded as the heartlands of Indigenous arts. Its findings may have implications for Indigenous arts funding policies but will be primarily concerned with the task of mapping the artistic landscape of the nation. Apart from the benefits for the participants, for Indigenous and Australian art scholarship, and for more soundly based Indigenous arts industry research, the project will help dismantle entrenched attitudes in non-Indigenous Australia against Indigenous people in 'non-remote' Australian society.
