Connecting Indigenous Community Photographies: a transnational case study

该项目旨在对土著社区控制的摄影进行首次跨国比较，探索土著人民看待和记录他们世界的方式。该项目旨在通过调查20世纪中期在三个国家的四个社区中由土著摄影师创作的以前未被探索的私人图像收藏，来大大促进澳大利亚和全球对土著本土摄影的理解。该项目的成果之一是一个微妙的视觉历史，不能从其他来源挖掘。这个项目的好处包括公共展览，一本书，研讨会，和一个学术选集，鼓励公众与过去的联系。

The project aims to conduct the first transnational comparison of Indigenous community-controlled photography, exploring Indigenous peoples’ ways of seeing and documenting their worlds. The project seeks to significantly advance Australian and global understanding of Indigenous vernacular photography through investigating formerly unexplored private collections of images created by Indigenous photographers during the mid 20th Century in four communities across three countries. One of the outcomes of the project is a nuanced visual history that cannot be excavated from other sources. The benefits of this project include public exhibitions, a book, symposiums, and a scholarly anthology that encourages the public’s connection with the past.
