Aboriginal art in southeast Australia is dynamic, innovative and powerful. The diverse artworks featured in this book celebrate contemporary artists and their continuation of Ancestral knowledge. With each chapter the result of an intercultural collaboration, this volume speaks to globally resonant themes in First Nations art, storytelling and sovereignty. Each contribution prioritises learning with and about First Nations artists to support their knowledge systems.A guiding theme is the creative practice of internationally renowned artist Maree Clarke (Mutti Mutti/Wamba Wamba/Yorta Yorta/Boonwurrung), who is both a co-editor and an inspiration. Bringing together thoughtful analysis and lush illustrations, ngargee gives southeast Australian Aboriginal art the long overdue attention that it richly deserves. ngargee will be a welcome addition and an indispensable resource for all Australian museums and galleries, and indeed anyone who wants to learn more about southeast Australia, the richness of its art practices, and the continuity and innovation of First Nations knowledge-transmission and culture-making across time and place. ngargee means coming together to celebrate in Boonwurrung language, where celebrations are accompanied and demonstrated through the act of making art. Just as art and culture cannot be separated, neither can celebration and art-making

Object Lives and Global Histories in Northern North America: Material Culture in Motion, C.1780-1980
Object Lives and Global Histories in Northern North America explores how close, collaborative looking can discern the traces of contact, exchange, and movement of objects and give them a life and political power in complex cross-cultural histories. Red River coats, prints of colonial places and peoples, Indigenous-made dolls, and an Englishwoman's collection provide case studies of art and material culture that correct and give nuance to global and imperial histories. The result of a collaborative research process involving Indigenous and non-Indigenous contributors, this book looks closely at the circumstances of making, use, and circulation of these objects: things that supported and defined both Indigenous resistance and colonial and imperial purposes. Contributors re-envision the histories of northern North America by focusing on the lives of things flowing to and from this vast region between the eighteenth and the twentieth centuries, showing how material culture is a critical link that tied this diverse landscape to the wider world. An original perspective on the history of northern North American peoples grounded in things, Object Lives and Global Histories in Northern North America provides a key analytical and methodological lens that exposes the complexity of cultural encounters and connections between local and global communities.
