Geoffrey Dann

With the exception of some programming on SBS and the ABC, artists receive very little exposure on television.

Feature
Sylvia Kleinert

An exhibition of contemporary Aboriginal art 'Aboriginal Art and Spirituality' opened at the High Court of Australia in 1991. The exhibition to tour after its opening in Canberra.....All of the works in the exhibition speak quite overtly about the highly problematic intervention of the missions, the politics of racism and the way in which Aboriginal spirituality will always remain linked to the land.
