25.01.2022 UPDATE on where we're at - five years since the project was conceived.

23.01.2022 https://observer.com//australian-aboriginal-art-market-so/

23.01.2022 More amazing work from this stunning artist. We saw her making her art in the courtyard at Buku back in 2015. What a privilege!

21.01.2022 Short preview of our Heart of Artness podcast as we prepare to drop Episode 5 ... and a taste of Brisbane artists Richard Bell and Vernon Ah Kee from episodes still to come. Warlukurlangu Artists Buku-Larrnggay Mulka

20.01.2022 Thanks for including us! We bring you rare Australian voices from the Aboriginal art world.

15.01.2022 Love this woman’s art - so happy to see Nongirrnga painting by the pond at Buku when we were at Yirrkala while back.

15.01.2022 Tragic story from Yuendemu, where we spent such good days. Our thoughts are with the bereaved family. https://www.abc.net.au//police-promise-full-inves/11691498

15.01.2022 New ep with Richard Bell and Josh Milani up now! You got some good stuff out of me, Richard commented, on hearing it. Yep! It’s a great listen. http://artness.net.au/episodes/

13.01.2022 Podcasts I’m involved with just won not one but TWO GOLD AWARDS at New York Radio Festival! I am thrilled to bits. First is #WrongSkin, my second collaborat...ion with the fabulous Richard Baker and team at The Age in Melbourne, a complex exploration of the clash of traditional law, politics and contemporary culture in a remote Aboriginal community in the Kimberley. A hard story to tell, and I’m proud to have helped shape it. Second is a passion project I made as a Non-Traditional Research Outcome on a competitively funded project with the Australian Research Council, led by art historian Prof Ian McLean with the wonderful Margo Neale, Senior Indigenous Curator at the National Museum of Australia. It took us to NE Arnhem Land for a deep exploration of the usually unarticulated crosscultural relationships that inform and animate the amazing art the Yolngu make. We set out to deliberately give Indigenous artists a voice in how the art is framed (usually this is hijacked by white anthropologists and art historians) by putting orality front and centre. But I then had to make that into engaging crafted audio storytelling, for public delight - and this award tells me I succeeded. Not easy to balance art, scholarship, oral history and cultural difference, so I am going to celebrate this win!! Shout out to Guy Freer for technical production and to my graduate students Grace Stranger and Chantelle Mayo who helped with transcription and to friends and esteemed audio producers Jane Ulman and Sharon Davis who gave invaluable critical feedback. Thanks too to the eloquent Will Stubbs and all at Buku-Larrnggay Mulka art centre for support - especially of course to the artists, Garawan Wanambi, Gunybi Ganambarr and Yinimala Gumana.

13.01.2022 Article from Open Society Foundation's Centre for Independent Journalism about my approach to making long-form storytelling podcasts - some observations re sound may be of interest.

12.01.2022 Team is back together in Brisbane to speak at the National Oral History Conference about our research for Heart of Artness. Margo showing her usual flair for colour and Ian looking almost distinguished these days

11.01.2022 Coming soon! Next season of Heart of Artness, featuring contemporary urban Aboriginal artists and their collaborators - kicking off with the inimitable Richard Bell. Richard wrote the brilliant 2002 essay, Bell's Theorem (Aboriginal Art: It's A White Thing), still debated today. He's funny and fearless and we get into some deep and honest stuff with him and Josh Milani, whose Milani Gallery represents him.

08.01.2022 Interesting to see these Aboriginal artists in Vogue. https://www.vogue.com.au//image-gallery/1f65e31a0a04b022b2

06.01.2022 A good news story!

02.01.2022 Indie art dealer Judi Muller (L) sells smaller works of #Aboriginal art as a 'personal act of reconciliation': they don't make big bucks but it helps the artist...s. Sydney artist Ruark Lewis has had a longstanding creative conversation with Yolgnu artist Barayuwa Munungurr: their works have a remarkable synergy. Listen to their stories and more in Ep 5 in our podcast Heart of Artness - out now! https://bit.ly/2CeTkIU See more

02.01.2022 Sydney friends, get ye to the Art Gallery of NSW before 24 Feb to see the ASTONISHING art of Nongirrna Marawili! This 80 y.o Yolngu woman from East Arnhem Land is in flying form. I watched her painting at Buku-Larrnggay Mulka Art Centre in Yirrkala a while back, recording the Heart of Artness podcast - she’s so assured and at the peak of her powers.

01.01.2022 Distillation of four years’ research in remote art centres and at radical Brisbane group proppaNOW at the Art Association of Australian and New Zealand Conferen...ce at RMIT was very well received. Learned so much on this research project and loved working with brilliant colleagues art historian Prof Ian McLean (second from right) and Margo Neale, Snr Indigenous Curator at National Museum of Australia. The podcast is halfway through (Heart of Artness - artness.net.au), the Oral History collection will be archived - and look out for the Exhibition!! See more
