Indigenous archives: the making and unmaking of Aboriginal art
Description
Unique IDLIB-00014459Alternative titleIndigenous archives: the making and unmaking of Aboriginal art/ edited by Darren Jorgensen and Ian McLeanDate1st January 2017Date qualifieryear onlyDescriptionDescription: In recording and ordering documents considered important, the archive is a source of power. It takes control of the past, deciding which voices will be heard and which won't, how they will be heard and for what purposes. Indigenous communities understood the power of the archive well before the European Enlightenment arrived and began archiving them. For them colonialism has been a struggle over archives as much as anything else. The eighteen essays by twenty authors, seven of whom are Indigenous, investigate different aspects of this struggle in Australia, from Indigenous uses of traditional archives and the development of new ones to the deconstruction and appropriation of European archives by contemporary artists as acts of cultural empowerment.
