Funded Activity Summary

Performing Indigenous Sovereignty: Aboriginal Australian commercial performances 1800-1949. This project strengthens our understanding of Australia's place in the world and enhances our capacity to interpret ourselves by substantially enriching knowledge about Australian race relations in the nineteenth century. This new knowledge about Indigenous participation within the material and cultural economies of Australia adds significant new dimensions to Australian cultural history. This also contributes to Australia's internationally recognised leadership in cross-cultural performance studies, informing pedagogy and scholarship. This project has the added benefit of contributing to the mental health and well being of Indigenous people by reclaiming positive elements of their cultural history since colonisation.
