It’s October 2023 in Mayfair, London. First Nations artist and curator Tony Albert has a hammer in hand and is nailing bits of vintage “Aboriginalia” to the wall of No. 9 Cork Street gallery. He hangs a colonialist painting upside down and emblazons it with skull and crossbones. An old tourist shop map of Australia is painted with a target. And among “Dreamtimey” teaspoons, coasters, and factory-produced boomerangs he scribes the words, “Aliens exist in my backyard”. Take a step back and the objects unite in protest; an attempt to correct the whitewashed record. “There is too much engagement that excludes Aboriginal people from having a voice,” says Albert, grandson to a stolen generation survivor and descendant to the Girramay, Yidinji, Kuku Yalanji and Guugu Yimithirr people in Queensland. “Through this practice I am placing the objects in a position of power… Giving them a voice.”
