Abstract: Hybridity has a complicated history however, it has always been associated with notions of identity and cultural origins. In its most rudimentary form, hybridity refers to a person produced when two or more identities “mix.” It first surfaced during colonialism, which hierarchized humans according to biological notions of race, beginning with “whiteness” at the top. Originally, the hybrid was marred by racist assumptions of impurity, and was subsequently marginalized for disturbing the conventional social order. In the 1980s and 1990s, the term was heavily debated, especially in postcolonial theory and art. These debates remapped hybridization as a positive and resistive form of cultural translation. Today, the applicability of the term is being newly critiqued, this time with greater attention to the power imbalances inherent in cultural exchange. Future implications of hybrid studies rest largely on how to address these imbalances, an exploration that continues to be inspired by practices of contemporary art.

Abstract: This article explores how the arts-for-social change company, Big hART, responded to the Cronulla riots in Western Sydney, Australia. The riots were instigated on 4 December 2005 following an altercation between three Anglo-Australian lifeguards and a group of men identified as being of Lebanese background. Big hART’s creative response, ‘Junk Theory’, involved the collaboration of youth from erse cultural groups in the Sutherland Shire and resulted in a moving-media installation that projected digital stories onto the sails of a junk boat. With its message, ‘It’s harder to hurt someone when you know their story’, the work raises important questions regarding ersity, social cohesion and the corporeal force of community-based art. My critique of this work is the starting point for my interest in the material – and often subtle – ways that racialized bodies come to be produced through multiculturalism discourse. I want to add to the contemporary scholarship account of a tension between theoretical olitical multiculturalism and its everyday engagements, by utilizing Judith Butler’s theory of performativity to examine the multicultural body in both public and creative space. The article uses performativity to consider how it is that certain bodies came to be seen as beyond the limits of not only the Cronulla beach, but humanness itself. It then considers how the same theory makes way for slippages, which, if harnessed, may be used to deconstruct the racialized body in everyday art forms.
