The landscape is awash with the impacts of\u003cbr\u003ecolonisation. Those impacts create an illusion of a level playing field. Not\u003cbr\u003eunlike the surface of a serene lake. However, underneath the surface is\u003cbr\u003ewhere everyone in the white Oz camp is scared to go. And what remains\u003cbr\u003ehidden beneath that surface is a mixture of benefit and liability, much\u003cbr\u003elike navigating unsounded waters. So, if reconciliation was going to\u003cbr\u003eactually happen and the landscape of reality realised there’d need to\u003cbr\u003ebe a series of ’issues’ attended to. Colonisation started in the east and\u003cbr\u003eheaded west \/ all points elsewhere.\u003cbr\u003eSo I’m suggesting that we look at the lines across the bottom as a series\u003cbr\u003eof ‘issues’ for the ‘all in for reconciliation’ crowd to work on. So each dark\u003cbr\u003evertical line is an issue.\u003cbr\u003eLand Rights\u003cbr\u003eStolen Children\u003cbr\u003eInequity\/ies\u003cbr\u003eCriminalisation of culture etc.\u003cbr\u003eAs each issue is attended to moving east the landscape of reconciliation\u003cbr\u003ebegins to reveal itself. The challenge then is for the audience to name\u003cbr\u003ethe ‘issues’ and see who really is all in for reconciliation. The landscape\u003cbr\u003eto the right after the issues are sorted would be something none of us\u003cbr\u003ehave ever seen.\u003cbr\u003eThe piece is in my Lore colour, looking down from above.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47613891018942,"sku":null,"price":47000.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/7653\/2926\/files\/guwunggan.jpg?v=1780884285","url":"https:\/\/qimp7i-pm.myshopify.com\/products\/guwunggan","provider":"Birrunga Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
