Event: Wed 7 to Sun 11 November 2012: Wollongong, NSW
Exhibition: Ghost Citizens: Witnessing the Intervention
Project Contemporary Artspace
"The word ‘intervention’ is popular in the art and
architecture worlds, but in this context it condemns
the Northern Territory Emergency Response (NTER),
Australia’s "national emergency" policy introduced in 2007.
This punitive policy is at odds with international human
rights conventions and the Racial Discrimination Act.
The exhibition Ghost Citizens: Witnessing the Intervention
looks at this return to protectionist colonial policy and
the wilful diminishing of an Indigenous participatory
voice: the loss of citizenship rights, of the right to
homelands and self-determination."
