1 Collisions: The Martu Respond to Maralinga Nici Cumpston , Una Rey , 2017 single work criticism
— Appears in: Artlink , 1 June vol. 37 no. 2 2017; (p. 66-69) 'Shaping the globally‑inflected histories of today are endless encounters between worlds. They can be seen across Australia in the exchanges between Aboriginal and settler groups and they paint myriad stories of who we are - some told, many untold. These cross‑cultural collisions are striking motifs for artists and storytellers, running like veins through our collective body, further amplified as the last generation of pre- and first‑contact Aboriginal people pass away. Not only is there a mutual desire to express and to hear these stories but there is an urgency to archive them for the world.' (Publication abstract)
