Embodying Affect: The Stolen Generations, the History Wars and PolesApart by Indigenous New Media Artist r e a

(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Computer Society (IEEE Publishing), 2010) Nicholls, Christine Judith

In her 2009 new media artwork PolesApart, Australian Aboriginal artist r e a, of the Gamilaraay people in northern New South Wales, explores issues relating to the Stolen Generations of Aboriginal children. Based on the personal experiences of her grandmother and great aunt as `stolen children', r e a amplifies the work's familial dimension by enacting the role of the protagonist fleeing from forced servitude. This paper looks at PolesApart in the broader context of the interrelated phenomena of the stolen generations and the so-called `history wars'.
