Fetishised. Commercialised. Protected. Exploited. Representations of the Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Ocean in academic and popular literature, print and online media and colloquial culture venues range from fond, romantic idealisations to barely concealed condescension. Eight cutting-edge Aboriginal and Pacific Islander artists explore the many layers of meaning in the term 'native' through performance and installation. Artists: Torika Bolatagici, Maree Clarke, Chantal Fraser, Chuck Feesago, Ben McKeown, Candice Perese, Greg Semu, Latai Taumoepeau. Open 12-5pm daily. Blak Dot Gallery, 413 Lygon St, Brunswick East. Entry free.
