There are studies of ‘reverse appropriation‘ by early nineteenth-century Aboriginal carvers of tourist artefacts and the production of enigmatic toa. Cross-cultural dialogue is traced from the post-war period to ‘Aboriginalism’ in design and the First Nations fashion industry of today. Transculturation, conceptualism, and collaboration are contextualised in the 1980s, a pivotal decade for the growth of collaborative First Nations exhibitions. Within the current circumstances of political protest in photographic portraiture and against the mining of sacred Aboriginal land, \u003cem\u003eCrosscurrents in Australian First Nations and Non-Indigenous Art\u003c\/em\u003e testifies to the need for Australian institutions to collaborate with First Nations people more often and better. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book will appeal to students and scholars of art history, Indigenous anthropology, and museum and heritage studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56434650972534,"sku":"9781032257389","price":49.88,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_36639841.jpg?v=1760646975","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781032257389-crosscurrents-in-australian-first-natio","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
