The Wire

It’s NAIDOC week- a time to celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander History, culture and achievements and an opportunity to recognise their contributions to our society. But this reflection is an ongoing experience as well. A recent Vivid ideas talk organised by Women in the Arts in Sydney gathered together contemporary Aboriginal women who are innovators in the arts to reflect on their experiences as Aboriginal women practising in a contemporary context. They say Aboriginal art and culture shouldn’t only be celebrated in NAIDOC week.
