Cover Text

It is now over 250 years since James Cook and his crew set sail in the Endeavour to explore the Pacific. In 1770 they reached the east coast of a continent that had been inhabited for more than 65,000 years by many Indigenous groups with different languages and diverse cultures. Cook's landing marked the biginning of a history that still has repercussions today, a history that both unites and divides Australia and highlights the continuing need for reconciliation. Colony explores the immediate and far-reaching impact of the British colonisation of Australia through historical, twentieth-century and contemporary art, illuminating the confronting and complex shared history of First Peoples and European settlers. Art becomes a powerful force when it provokes us to think anew. - Tony Birch
