 Whose Story |
Established in Blacktown in 1823 (after being relocated from Parramatta) to 'educate' and 'reform' Aboriginal children during colonisation, this potent site on the corner of Richmond Road and Rooty Hill Road North represents the origins of the institutionalisation of Australian Aboriginal people. The site is a profound symbol of race relations and cross-cultural interaction in Australia. In dialogue with the community, local historians and academics, and led by artist-provocateur Brook Andrew, Aboriginal artists, Daniel Boyd, Robyn Caughlan, Karla Dickens, r e a, Leanne Tobin and Jason Wing created a group exhibition in response to the Blacktown Native Institute site.
