‘Vaguely Familiar’: haunted identities, contested histories, Indigenous futures
Doctor of Philosophy in Visual Anthropology, UNSW Art & Design, University of New South Wales 2019.
‘Vaguely Familiar’: haunted identities, contested histories, Indigenous futures is a practice-led PhD consisting of three creative works and a written thesis, which is intended as a contribution to Australian Indigenous new media theory and practice; a text written ‘by and for’ Aboriginal artists, not just ‘about’ us, following the eminent Aboriginal academic and activist Marcia Langton. My practice-led research develops a methodology of decolonisation which un-stories dominant colonial frameworks and re-Indigenises a critical capacity for creative work. Through responding to personal memory and a politics of resistance, this PhD re-examines identity politics, gender, sexuality and the performance of Aboriginality. My thesis follows a journey across the development of three experimental art works [Native (2015) Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner (2016), and Pause (2019)] from re-imaging the colonial archive, to the practice of Indigenous research protocols, to learning to listen to country…
PAUSE – single-channel video & sound work
Pause, is a experimental video work that explores the act of walking on country, a repetitive experience I participated in with my maternal grandfather and grandmother at different times in my early life.
