Theatrical Documentary: Beautiful One Day
"Beautiful One Day is a theatrical documentary
about the irrepressible life and times of Palm
Island. Three theatre companies (Belvoir,
Ilbijerri, and version 1.0) came together in 2011
over a shared sense of outrage at the injustices
surrounding a death in custody in 2004. But,
prompted by the Palm Island community,
Beautiful One Day looks for a way to turn outrage
into real understanding and new possibilities.

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.
