Indigenous Australian Artists: It’s Time We Stop Being Reviewed By White Culture


Indigenous Australian Artists: It’s Time We Stop Being Reviewed By White Culture


“It feels like a moment where we are angry and ready enough to address how white Australian review culture maligns Indigenous work by only superficially engaging with it. It feels like a moment where we are ready to sustain our own review culture. We have centuries of white engagement with Indigenous story as evidence for the need to change; we also have our own critics, who show us what’s possible when whiteness loses its frame of evaluative authority over a work.” – The Guardian

A newly published study potentially has the answer, detailing brain wave changes observed in isolated participants.”
