AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Families are important, our centre from which support, guidance and leadership are culturally transmitted from person to person, through generation to generation. Samantha Faulkner uses the life of her grandfather, Ali Drummond, to explore — through her relationships with near and extended families — these connections in her own life to her roots in the Torres Strait and those she has established on the mainland. Throughout this book, the cultural connections and reflections on family remain strong.' (Introduction)

    'Cultural expression is a major topic of research interest for AIATSIS and has been since its inception. Research of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander visual arts are, in turn, a significant component of that work. This volume consolidates the work of several AIATSIS research grantees, staff and visitors who are working on projects that explore different aspects of Indigenous art production and how this production relates to the creation of personal and group identity. Some of the projects were presented at an AIATSIS seminar series held in the second semester of 2006 and organised by Luke Taylor and Peter Veth with the support of Patrick Sullivan.' (Editorial introduction)
