on more proof of connection to country... 50,000 years proven through DNA of hair samples


“These findings confirm what the Aboriginal community have known all along - that their deep ties with country stretch back thousands of years,” said study co-author Raymond Tobler, a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Adelaide.

'researchers found that the ancestors of Australian Aboriginals had split from the first modern human populations to leave Africa, 64,000 to 75,000 years ago. Dr Joe Dortch, a scientist at UWA, says the discovery turns on its head the existing theory that Aboriginals arrived here less than 50,000 years ago. The findings are detailed today in the journal Science.'

Tracey Moffatt: Venice 2017

John McDonald interview / article on Moffatt:

My work can be read as Australian, but I think the reason it’s travelled and crossed borders is because it can be appreciated by a vast audience. I know it’s clichéd but it has a universal aspect. It deals with the human condition, and so resonates with many cultures,”
