MARNTI WARAJANGA
Museum of Australian Democracy at Old Parliament House Canberra, 26 February
2010 – 20 February 2011
Marnti Warajanga – we’re travelling is a collaboration
between Wangka Maya Pilbara Aboriginal Language Centre, award-winning photographer
Tobias Titz and the Museum of Australian Democracy.
In Marnti Warajanga you will meet Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians
from the Pilbara region of northern Western Australia. In their own words they
bear witness to momentous historical movements and reflect on their ongoing
work for social and political change at a community and national level.
In Tobias Titz’s unique collaborative portraiture process, each person
is photographed with a large format camera using Polaroid Type 665 film. He
then photographs the same space without the person in it. Following this, the
subjects write something of their choice into the wet ‘empty’ negative.
The texts relate to questions about major events such as the Pilbara Strike
of 1946, the 1967 Referendum and the 2008 Apology to the Stolen Generations.
Tobias says that providing a place where often long-buried stories can be told
‘allows us to understand where we come from and how to move forward’.
Join these Australians as they tell the story of their journey towards equality
in their own country.
