Hear activists Clare Land and Bogaine Spearim in conversation, presented in conjunction with our show Tom Nicholson: Drawings and Correspondence. This talk is a must for anyone interested in the complexities and responsibilities of activism.
Land has been a non-Aboriginal supporter of Aboriginal struggles since 1998. Her 2015 book Decolonizing Solidarity: Dilemmas and Directions for Supporters of Indigenous Struggles is based on interviews with Aboriginal community members and non-Aboriginal activists, and what Land learned through her activist work in southeastern Australia.
Spearim, a Kooma and Gamilaraay person, is a member of Warriors of the Aboriginal Resistance and one of the hosts of ‘Let’s Talk’ on 98.9FM radio.
