Cover Text

Daniel Boyd: Treasure Island traces this acclaimed artist's practice from 2005 to today. Holding a lens to colonial history. Daniel Boyd grapples with the way the past inflects the present and the present inflects the past. Informed by his Aboriginal and ni-Vanuatu heritage, Boyd regifues archival imagery, art historical references and his own family photographs. Through his idiosyncratic painting technique, he interrogates the brutal legacies of colonisation and creates moving tributes to family and the power of cultural survival, forcing viewers to contend with hidden and overlooked histories. Richly illustrated and with new writing by curators and First Nations authors, this book is also a response to the current moment where critical dialogues on ideas of community, connectivity and cultural repratriation carry particular urgency.
