Repatriation and Representation: Aboriginal Politics in Australia
Advertisement
Dr. Asia Parker, an alumna of Wake Forest University (BA ’18) and University of Georgia (PhD ’25), will explore the intersection of museum exhibit curation and dissertation research. As an undergraduate at Wake Forest, Dr. Parker conducted independent research in Australia on the representation of Aboriginal rights in art museums. Building on this foundation, her PhD dissertation examines Aboriginal political representation through international law, domestic politics, and art, with particular attention to museums as important sites of cultural identity and political expression. This talk is offered in conjunction with the exhibit "Return to Sender? Aboriginal Cultural Heritage and Repatriation," an interdisciplinary exhibition developed by Dr. Parker in collaboration with the Lam Museum, which brings together research and curatorial practice to examine ethical stewardship of Aboriginal cultural material. Admission is free.
