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土著历史。该项目旨在对澳大利亚野生表演（1892-93年）进行权威和原创的解释，该表演由一个由土著人组成的多元化公司为大都市观众举办。该展览将利用档案和视觉记录，对澳大利亚殖民地的表演、摄影、收藏和种族关系进行跨学科研究。该项目将以当代土著观点为基础，以地方、国家和跨国叙事方式展示该节目。这项研究应该照亮土著机构在合奏，重新连接土著亲属的表演者，并在澳大利亚历史的关键时刻图表不断变化的种族概念。

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.
