Notes

  • Epigraph: ...a shipwreck is a tall shore of humanity.
    with an island background it had been composed
    on sand, dry inland, crafted by hand.
    it can be seen in the city, daily,
    neatly. (Shipwreck, Arthur Yap)

    'The resurgence of Indigenous culture and thought continues. Confident, smart and sensitive Aboriginal artists, writers and theorists create world-class work in every genre. Tough and autonomous critical milieux have developed, liberated from colonial and modern mythologies about Aboriginal culture and its relations to Western ways of thinking and seeing. Flourishing Indigenous arts and literary scenes have grown around a new generation of Aboriginal publishers, curators, writers, editors, film-makers, choreographers and savvy arts entrepreneurs...'
