Sometime ago you wrote about a photo/article that appeared in the Aus. The photo was of a family in their house at Hopevale Aboriginal community and the article as about housing conditions in aboriginal communities. You said that you were going to write more on the topic. Perhaps you could do that …<BR/><BR/>I found the photograph to be confronting and thought provoking. It is really worth looking at very, very closely. The Aus used the photograph to convey Aboriginal residents’ seeming lack of care for the houses they are provided. I have spent some time in a remote Aboriginal community in WA and know that these conditions were common there and I suspect they are common elsewhere. But, the photograph also showed these wonderful (and I would suggest, trusting) smiles of three aboriginal women and some kids. The photograph should challenge us to think about how our cultures come together in Australia … to make us think about multiple understandings of ownership, cleanliness, communal living, family, government planning, charity, media, exploitation, and much more. So, I hope you’ll share your thoughts with us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
