OCCURRENT AFFAIR: JUSTICE NOW

Established in 2003, proppaNOW is one of Australia’s leading cultural collectives, exploring the politics of Aboriginal art and culture, and provoking, subverting and re-thinking what it means to be a ‘contemporary Aboriginal artist’. Conceived as a collaborative activist gesture, OCCURRENT AFFAIR addresses current socio-political, economic and environmental issues, while celebrating the strength, resilience and continuity of Aboriginal culture.

OCCURRENT AFFAIR: JUSTICE NOW embraces the slippage between language and its associated readings to probe and present new narratives. The exhibition reflects on the ongoing state of affairs affecting Aboriginal peoples and issues that are relevant to all Australians.
