Inspired by the words of Indigenous land rights leader Vincent Lingiari, ‘that land… I still got it on my mind’, this exhibition explores notions of identity, country and the ongoing impact of the Gurindji walk-off in 1966. The industrial strike became a nine-year act of self-determination and helped spark the land rights movement in Australia.
‘Still in my mind’ tells the story of strength and resilience from diverse, yet interlinked, Indigenous perspectives through photographs, video installation, history paintings, digital platforms and archives.
