The Art of Aboriginal Activism

A new exhibition showcases artwork of a time when Aboriginal activists drew attention to civil rights.

“IT WAS BUT HALF a century ago, a time still sharp in the minds of a baby boomer generation, that landmark battles were waged and won by Aboriginal people, for Aboriginal people.
