In the last 50 years museums have slowly changed from exhibitions ‘about’ Indigenous peoples to exhibitions by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander curators.
As the University of Sydney embarks on the building of the new Chau Chak Wing Museum, we consider what are the next steps and continue to question how exhibitions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander collections can engage all visitors meaningfully.
Speakers:
Sharni Jones, Manager of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander collections at the Australian Museum
Stephen Gilchrist, Associate Lecturer Department of Art History, University of Sydney
Rodney Kelly, Gweagal activist for the repatriation of ancestral collections to Aboriginal ownership
Amanda Reynolds, Stella Stories artist, curator, cultural consultant and editor
Matt Poll, (panel chair) Assistant Curator, Indigenous Heritage, Macleay Museum, Sydney University Museums
A 2017 Reconciliation Week at the University of Sydney event, co-presented with the Macleay Museum. Held on 31 May 2017: http://sydney.edu.au/sydney_ideas/lectures/2017/reconciliation_week_arts_aboriginal_australia_forum.shtml
