How Meston's 'Wild Australia Show' shaped Australian Aboriginal history

梅斯顿的“野生澳大利亚秀”如何塑造了澳大利亚原住民的历史。该项目旨在对野生澳大利亚表演（1892-93）进行权威和原创的诠释，该表演由一个多元化的原住民公司为大都会观众举办。该展览将利用档案和视觉记录，重点研究澳大利亚殖民时期的行为、摄影、收藏和种族关系。该项目将把展览置于当地、国家和跨国叙事中，并从当代土著视角出发。这项研究应阐明原住民在合奏中的作用，重新连接原住民与表演者的亲属关系，并在澳大利亚历史的关键时刻记录种族概念的变化。

How Meston's 'Wild Australia Show' shaped Australian Aboriginal history. This project aims to produce an authoritative and original interpretation of the Wild Australia Show (1892–93), staged by a diverse company of Aboriginal people for metropolitan audiences. The Show will be the focus of an interdisciplinary study of performance, photography, collections and race relations in colonial Australia, using archival and visual records. The project will situate the Show in local, national and transnational narratives informed by contemporary Indigenous perspectives. This research should illuminate Aboriginal agency in the ensemble, reconnect Aboriginal kin to performers, and chart changing concepts of race at a critical juncture in Australian history.
