Episode Synopsis

Advisory: This podcast mentions aboriginal people who have died.
In this segment of a Rights, Rorts and Rants show BMUC's Mike Holland explains his visit to the National Gallery of Australia to view Vincent Namatjira's latest exhibition Australia in Colour which charts the career of the artist (& includes a portrait of mining owner Gina Rhinehart as "a very small part of the exhibition").
Mike discusses the extensive exhibition which touches on the influence of Vincent's great great grandfather renowned artist Albert Namatjira.
[Claification: The artist did not agree to have his Rhinehart portrait shown in Times Square and it did not occur].
The show was first broadcast live on Radio Blue Mountains 89.1 FM on 24 May 2024 by Blue Mountains Unions & Community and presented by Debra Smith.
Blue Mountains Unions & Community pays its respect to and acknowledges, the Darug and Gundungurra First Peoples of the Blue Mountains area and acknowledges this is Aboriginal Land that was never ceded.
