Project -Friday Forum - 31 October

 

The Research School of Humanities presents,

 Friday Forum 

1-2.30 pm, 31st October, 2008, Theatrette, Old Canberra House

Traces in Time: The Canning Stock Route Project

Presenters: John Carty, Wally Caruana and Kim Mahood 

Facilitator: Kitty Eggerking

 

The FORM Canning Stock Route Project is a collaborative art and oral
history endeavour involving curators, artists, academics and the art
centres of the Western Australian desert.

In 2010 the National Museum of Australia will launch the public face of
the project, a multimedia exhibition exploring Indigenous perspectives
on the history of the Canning Stock Route through painting, film,
photography and oral history.

In this Friday Forum, members of project team will present different
aspects of the project.

 

John Carty, an anthropologist from the Research School of Humanities,
will discuss the historical contexts of the CSR and the genesis of the
project itself. He will also discuss the contribution that the oral
histories recorded through the project are making to Australian history.

 

Wally Caruana, as the senior curator on the project, will discuss the
paintings that form the core of the exhibition, the art historical
significance of such a show and the curatorial questions surrounding it.


 

Kim Mahood, artist and writer, will discuss some aspects of mapping that
are important to the project: particularly the relationship between maps
and paintings, between Indigenous and non-Indigenous understandings of
place that are played out in different forms on and around the Canning
Stock Route.

 

Emerging Indigenous curators Terry Murray, Louise Mengil and Hayley
Atkins, film-makers Clint Dixon and KJ Martin and photographer Morika
Biljabu are being mentored through the life of the project will also be
present to discuss their roles in developing the content of the
exhibition.
