In the Frame: Indigenous Vernacular Photography Across Two Continents

  April 10, 2024

  Virginia Humanities, The Lemon Lounge, 946 Grady Ave, Suite 100

Exhibition

Join a discussion about how candid and everyday photographs of Indigenous people across multiple communities disrupt assumed settler historical narratives. Aird and Hughes will present their research project that investigates, connects, and exhibits Indigenous community-controlled photography across four communities in Australia and North America.

This program will be of interest particularly to community members and people at UVA who wish to work with Indigenous and descendant communities.

Michael Aird is a First Nations Australian photographer and curator and director of the University of Queensland Anthropology Museum. He has worked in the area of Aboriginal arts and cultural heritage since 1985 maintaining an interest in documenting aspects of urban Aboriginal history and culture.

Karen Hughes is Associate Professor of Indigenous Studies at Swinburne University of Technology. Her research focuses on Indigenous and cross-cultural social and political histories in Australia and North America.
