18.01.2022 KWMFNAA Finalist: Fiona Foley, 'Protector's Camp' The title of this photographic series refers to the film Apocalypse Now, which was loosely based on Joseph Conrad’s novel Heart of Darkness. Over time, like a bowerbird, I've collected bits and pieces of historical information, quotes and archival images. Set in the late-1800s, the resulting artworks are vignettes of narratives I found. Through the use of detailed costuming and precise set designs, my photographs offer re-enac...tments of selected incidents. This series is focused on two central characters: Archibald Meston and Ernest Gribble and the succeeding narratives ripple out from them. These two protagonists strode onto the historical stage and became central to Queensland's The Aboriginals Protection and Restriction of the Sale of Opium Act, 1897. Archibald Meston became the Southern Protector of Aborigines and Reverend Ernest Gribble was instrumental in running Anglican missions across the state. Meston and Gribble had active roles in shaping the destinies of many Aboriginal lives through their ideologies, experiments and methods of isolation. Rendered herein, featuring a largely Aboriginal cast, are some of my thoughts on Colonial vice and profiteering. The various scenes address themes of daily life, control, addiction, assimilation, fear, survival and strength of character. Until 1897, opium use in Queensland was both widespread and legal. Major and minor narrative threads are plotted throughout, repeatedly using props such as a wooden box and a kangaroo skin. In one photograph, Meston settles in a bush camp where his gun is shown in order to exercise control. This scene is permeated by wafts of arrogance as pervasive as smoke from the campfire. My research has revealed that Meston was a man of contradictions. Significant Colonial attitudinal changes occurred within his lifetime and he progressed from potshot killer to Protector of Aborigines. #kwmfnaa #indigenousart #indigenousartist See more

14.01.2022 At KWM we are 'Reimagining our Future' and embracing the ways of working that were welcomed by our people throughout Australia's lockdown experience, despite its many challenges. This new normal is focussed on flexibility and connectedness and has been a consultative process that empowers our teams to design a ‘roster’ that balances individual, team, firm and client needs. Our Chief Executive Partner, Berkeley Cox, spoke to the Financial Review about the firm's new approach and how we will support one another to realise this new normal.

12.01.2022 KWMFNAA Finalist: Reggie Uluru, 'Wati Ngintaka - Perentie Lizard Man' Yankunytjatjara, SA "When people see my paintings and ask why my Perentie always have a different colour face, I tell them they've been head in the mud, looking for good tucker or kapi (water)... like we did when we were little boys. My brothers. We'd look at the ground, touch it and smell it... see if what's in it's good to take."... In the Tjukurpa, or Creation Period, the Creation Ancestors travelled the unformed land and through their everyday activities and adventures shaped its features and left behind information for humans to follow. In the northern ranges of South Australia is a long chain of land forms marking the passage of Wati Ngintaka (Perentie Lizard Man). He stole a grindstone and headed west, pursued by the rightful owners and hiding it magically in his tail every time they caught up with him. They finally killed him for his theft and the story has been passed down for centuries in the Tjukurpa or song and ceremony. #kwmfnaa #indigenousart #indigenousartist

11.01.2022 KWMFNAA Finalist: Maree Clarke, 'A Moment in Time - Connection to Country' Mutti Mutti, Yorta Yorta, BoonWurrung/Wemba A Moment in Time Connection to Country represents my connection to country, culture, and place. The charcoal and ochre inside the glass seed pods is from past Lake Victoria in NSW, one of the most concentrated Aboriginal sites of historical habitation in the world. My family would go camping there every year. The natural river reeds are from the Maribyrnon...g River in Melbourne, which is Boon Wurrung Country. The river-reed necklace is based on traditional talisman that were given to people passing through Country as a sign of safe passage and friendship, but are supersized to reflect the scale of the loss of knowledge of cultural practices. Utilising glass together with these natural materials transforms the work and places it within the context of contemporary art, and reinforces our traditions as they develop and remain relevant in contemporary Australia. #kwmfnaa #indigenousart #indigenousartist See more

01.01.2022 KWMFNAA Finalist: Josh Muir, 'WAA series no.5 - The bushfire which burnt Crow black' Yorta Yorta, Gunditjmara, Dja Dja wurrung, Wada wurrung and Barkindji I have chosen to convey the Dreamtime story of Waa as it is featured in Indigenous narratives throughout Australia. As a proud Yorta Yorta man, Waa holds totemic importance. Drawing on my own connection to Country and taking inspiration from Indigenous motifs and markings, I use the motif of Waa the Crow to illustrate the r...ichness of historic and contemporary Indigenous knowledge and to facilitate the sharing of culture and exchange of stories. My work takes inspiration from my Indigenous heritage, street art, pop culture and from youth references. I am interested in creating unique imagery that alludes to the narratives around culture, nature, ceremony and connection to Country and that will root the story of Waa strongly in its place. For this new series, I have depicted Waa’s role in bringing fire to mankind as told by the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation. This work ‘The bushfire which burnt Crow black’’ illuminates the following part of the narrative: Bunjil’s helpers, Djurt-djurt the nankeen kestrel and Thara the quail hawk, grabbed the rest of the coals. Then the coals made a bush fire which burnt Waa black. It also spread over his country and Bunjil had to gather all the Kulin to help put it out." #kwmfnaa #indigenousart #indigenousartist See more
