Inside the ‘white hands on black art’ saga
Manage episode 436922492 series 2664579
The most damaging controversy the Indigenous art sector has experienced in years started with a video.
The Ngura Pulka exhibition was set to open in June last year, featuring 28 new paintings by three generations of Aṉangu artists represented by the APY Art Centre Collective in South Australia.
The footage shows white studio assistants working on canvases from an APY Lands artist, which became the linchpin for a vicious media campaign and provoked a series of investigations.
Today, art curator Bruce Johnson McLean and reporter and contributor to The Saturday Paper Gabriella Coslovich on the APY art scandal and the complicated question of authenticity in the Aboriginal art world.
