Episode Synopsis


Today we speak with proud Wadawurrung artist Kait James, whose upcoming exhibition ‘Red Flags’, which features more than 70 newly created works, each with a deep reference to culture and Country, will be premiering at the Warrnambool Art Gallery from 12th October. Since 2018, Kait has been carving out a unique visual language based on the reappropriation of racialised products. Colloquially identified as ‘Aboriginalia’, these mass-produced, commercial objects depict culturally insensitive and racially stereotyped imagery, designs and motifs.Program Page: https://www.rrr.org.au/explore/programs/indigenuityTwitter @IndigenuityAUInstagram @indigenuityau
