Art students and others conducting research are welcome to make an appointment with us to view the works listed in the adjacent table.
It is also recommended for Europeans to use the online search system at KVK (Karlsruher Virtueller Katalog), in which all German and many European scholarly libraries list their available references. Sometimes the works are available for loan.
A list of further references about Australian art, which however are not yet in our reference collection, is also maintained and continually extended.

Abstract: Inspired by Aboriginal activism of the 1970s, a small group of non-Indigenous photographers worked closely with Indigenous people, their culture and struggles, making them empathetically visible for the first time. This cracked open the barriers of invisibility, silence and negative imaging surrounding the realities of Aboriginal life. Informed insider images appeared in exhibitions and publications. These activist photographers, working collaboratively with Aboriginal leaders in communities and towns, created images that were enthusiastically used by Aboriginal people and helped change the consciousness of the nation. Our paper examines this history and asks why these historic images are overlooked by some scholars and art museum exhibitions.
