Fifty years of the movement for Indigenous rights

‘Juno Gemes is a photographer with a lyrical eye, she turns up at all the important times and places enjoined in political activism, culture and art.’

— Tracey Moffatt

Join us for a compelling evening of discussion, reflection and music as we explore the history of First Nations peoples’ fight for self-determination.

Inspired by _Until Justice Come_s, the recent landmark publication of Juno Gemes’ photography, this event brings together leading voices from the worlds of activism, history and the arts. The speakers will highlight the resilience, resistance and achievements of First Nations peoples in their pursuit of justice and sovereignty. 

Host Nicholsa Tsoutas will speak with Juno Gemes, Rhonda Davis, Emeritus Professor John Maynard and Djon Mundine OAM and critically engage with Juno Gemes’ practice as a photographer committed to activism and social change. They will discuss the role of art and photography in promoting the politics of change, and justice for First Nations people in Australia. The evening will conclude with a performance by founding member of Midnight Oil, Jim Moginie.
