Pintupi Dialogues: reconstructing memories of art, land and community through the visual record

土著居民获取和控制博物馆和档案馆中与其生活和文化有关的材料的问题是一个活跃和有争议的问题。土著人民越来越多地寻求归还这些材料和/或利用它们来创造社区历史，并协助应对现代化对文化再生产构成的挑战。该项目直接有助于在档案方面赋予土著人民权力，从而有助于巩固他们与这些机构之间的积极关系。这是对和解的贡献。档案是为了国家利益而创建的，本项目也将通过内容的丰富来增加档案的价值。

The issue of Indigenous access to and control of material relating to their life and culture in museums and archives is alive and contentious. Indigenous people are increasingly seeking repatriation of such materials and/or to draw on them to create community histories and to assist in meeting the challenges modernisation poses for cultural reproduction. This project contributes directly to empowering Indigenous people in relation to the archive and in so doing contributing to the consolidation of positive relations between them and such institutions. This is a contribution to reconciliation. Archives are created for national benefit and this project will also value add to it through content enrichment.
