Autonomies: a photographic exhibition by Jessie Boylan with Emma King. In recognition of National Reconciliation Week 2009, SA Unions and Artlab Australia invites you to Autonomies – a photographic exhibition by Jessie Boylan with Emma King. In 2007 the Howard Government imposed interventions on Aboriginal Communities in the Northern Territory. In order to do this they suspended the Federal Racial Discrimination Act 1975, and imposed actions in these communities that included the quarantining of Social Security payments and giving government appointed people the ability to overrule community decisions. This intervention continues today. Autonomies is a collection of photographs and stories from the Communities affected by the NT Intervention. Barbara Shaw and family members at House 5, Mt Nancy Town Camp, Alice Springs |
