Feminist theory meets indigenous art

土著和解在澳大利亚社会和文化议程上占有重要地位。艺术在这一政治时刻的地位至关重要--澳大利亚土著人民的文化受到国际关注，并主要通过艺术作品获得认可。这在许多情况下反映了土著社区利用艺术描绘其传统梦想的政治战略，而世界对此一无所知。但在这背后，是土著哲学的假设，即艺术是它所描绘的知识，这反过来又通过梦想的法律唤起了土地所有权，属于“国家”。为了更好地理解这一谈判，推动了围绕和解问题的辩论。

Aboriginal reconciliation is high on the social and cultural agenda in Australian life. The place of art in this political moment has been critical - the culture of Australian indigenous people has come to international attention, and won recognition, largely through art works. This reflects in many cases a political strategy on the part of indigenous communities to use art to depict their traditional Dreamings, of which the world was ignorant. But underlying this, is the assumption made in Aboriginal philosophies that the art is the knowledge it portrays, which in turn evokes title to land through the law of Dreaming, of belonging to "country". To better understand this negotiation advances debate on issues surrounding reconciliation.
