Investigating the agency of Aboriginal Frontier War memorials

该项目旨在通过调查澳大利亚土著边疆战争纪念馆的影响和有效性，统一澳大利亚历史的相互冲突的版本。它将扩大我们对第一民族和定居者澳大利亚人在边境战争期间共同牺牲的理解，并展示纪念土著口述历史和创造性艺术研究和实践的艺术的和解潜力。其社会和文化利益包括对澳大利亚国家认同的历史构建和土著艺术改变澳大利亚军事纪念碑功能的潜力有了新的理解，并建立了一个永久的纪录短片和出版物档案馆。

This project aims to unite conflicting versions of Australian history by investigating the impact and effectiveness of Australian Aboriginal Frontier War memorials. It will expand our understanding of the shared sacrifices by First Nation and settler Australians during the frontier war and demonstrate the reconciliatory potential of memorialising art informed by Indigenous oral history and creative arts research and practice. The social and cultural benefits include developing a new understanding of the historical construction of Australian national identity and the potential of Indigenous art to transform the function of Australian military monuments as well as a permanent archive of short documentary films and publication.
