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 has been inhabited for more than 65,000 years by many Indigenous groups with different languages and diverse cultures. Cook’s landing marked the beginning 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 British colonisation of Australia through historical, twentieth-century and contemporary art. Through 1000 essential pieces of our cultural heritage, this book highlights the confronting and complex perspectives of the shared history of First Peoples and European settlers.

This is an essential exploration of Australia’s complex colonial mindset: from the tragedies of a contested beginning to the conversations that allow us now to contemplate a better future.

Includes works by William Barak, Christian Thompson, Maree Clarke, Julie Gough and Brook Andrew, among many others.
