The Institute of Modern Art presents Decolonising the Colonial Image, a lecture by Tasmanian art historian, curator and writer Professor Greg Lehman.
Drawing on more than two centuries of colonial imagery, Lehman examines how European artists represented Tasmanian Aboriginal people and the enduring impact of these visual narratives. Through a First Nations perspective, the lecture explores the role of art history in truth-telling, challenging colonial ideologies and reinterpreting Australia’s visual past.
Presented as part of Mandy Quadrio: Kukunna Wurraweena, the event offers audiences an opportunity to engage with one of Australia’s leading scholars of Indigenous art, history and identity.
Registration essential.
Date: Sun, 28 Jun, 2:30pm – 3:30pm AEST
