This tintype photographic series, CIPX Kaurna Miyurna, celebrates important members of the Kaurna community in Tarntanya (Adelaide), on Kaurna Yarta.

These works form part of the Critical Indigenous Photographic Exchange (CIPX), an international Indigenous portraiture project first conceived by Will Wilson, a Diné (Navajo) artist based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA. The CIPX project invites Indigenous photographers from around the world to create portraits of members of their local communities using the nineteenth-century tintype process. Kaurna artists Damien Shen and James Tylor have contributed to this contemporary project, which seeks to recontextualise early photographic documentation of Kaurna people produced by European colonists and anthropologists in South Australia during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

These CIPX portraits differ significantly from earlier images of Aboriginal people taken by Europeans. The project is designed to prioritise agency and respect for contemporary Indigenous sitters. Historically, European colonial photographers controlled the visual representation of Aboriginal subjects and retained ownership of the original images.

The CIPX process centres the Indigenous sitter’s autonomy. Participants have control over how they are represented, and the original tintype photographs are returned to the sitter. With the permission of each sitter, Shen and Tylor exhibit reproductions of the works, presented in large scale on aluminium.

Turrangka…in the shadows surveys over a decade of James Tylor’s practice and brings together the most comprehensive selection of his unique daguerreotypes, expansive digital photographic series and hand-made Kaurna cultural objects.

The exhibition title is drawn from a Kaurna word, highlighting a significant ongoing aspect of Tylor’s practice: the learning and sharing of his Indigenous language. As well as shadow, turra also translates to reflection, image and mirror.

At the core of Tylor’s practice is a continuously innovative program of photographic intervention, disrupting the image to redact or highlight visual information. He systematically alters the reading of Country by excising information from the photographic print or inscribing language and place-names onto the surface of his daguerreotypes.

These photographs provide a glimpse into Tylor’s broader practice of recreating Kaurna cultural artefacts, architecture and ephemera. Antiquated analogue photographic processes including Becquerel daguerreotypes and hand-tinting are also used to generate a new archive of pseudo-historical images. Tylor’s recreations point to the absence of these images from the hegemonic depiction of colonial Australia’s visual history.

A UNSW Galleries, Sydney exhibition, presented in partnership with Art Gallery of South Australia. Presented during SALA Festival.

The AUKUS deal was conceived in secret and with deception — and continues to be shrouded in secrecy despite the incredibly high stakes and massive cost. Our government has already spent $10 billion of our taxes on US and UK shipyards at a time when much of the world is in conflict and Australians are suffering from a cost-of-living crisis.

A group of former MPs, retired military and naval officers, leading strategists and academics, human rights lawyers and union leaders are committing to an independent Public Inquiry into AUKUS. This Inquiry is coordinated by the Australian Peace and Security Forum (APSF) — ensuring it is grounded in expertise, independence, and a commitment to serious evidence-based examination.

We invite written, oral, and video submissions from Australian citizens, organisations, and those in the Pacific and wider region with an interest in the AUKUS security partnership. All views are welcome and anonymous submissions are accepted. Submissions close September 1st, 2026.

Join us to stand together against racism and the far right, and for a genuinely free and democratic society.

ONE YEAR OF RACISM FROM “MARCH FOR AUSTRALIA”

The racist March for Australia (MFA) is mobilising nationally again on Sunday 30 August. We call on everyone who hates racism and fascism to join us to rally and march against the agenda of MFA that day.

We take inspiration from the huge nationwide rallies against Pauline Hanson’s racist One Nation party by school and university students on 14 August. This is a chance for all ages to build on their momentum.

We are doing our best to make our rally and march safe for everyone to participate in. We will be at a safe distance from their event, and will not be engaging with them in skirmishes on the streets.

It is one year since MFA’s first round of big marches around the country, which was a terrifying moment for everyone who believes in equality. Their marches highlighted a hatred of immigration, amplifying the lies that migrants are the cause of the housing shortage and rising cost of living.

Many MFA organisers are open neo-Nazis. In Naarm/Melbourne, the march emboldened some of these Nazis to trash Camp Sovereignty, an Aboriginal protest camp.

FREE SPEECH HYPOCRISY

This time MFA are claiming their mobilisation is about free speech. Their promotional videos make it clear what free speech means for them: the right to abuse and attack people who don’t fit their vision of a White Australia.

We’ve seen their version of free speech in action this month, with the break-in and scrawled swastikas at the Semaphore Workers Club, and abuse of players with Fijian and other heritage in suburban soccer.

Freedom of speech is important. But when we talk about free speech in Australia, we must also ask: whose speech has historically been protected, and whose has been silenced?

THE REAL FREE SPEECH CRISIS

For First Nations people, freedom of speech has never been equal. Aboriginal people have been punished for speaking language, practising culture, resisting dispossession, naming violence and asserting sovereignty — while racist policies and ideas have been given enormous institutional power.

First Nations communities continue to be targeted by racist movements and hate speech today. They must not become an afterthought in conversations about racism and free speech.

With Australian governments and industry supporting Israel’s genocide in Gaza, free speech to defend Palestine is increasingly under attack. More and more workers are pressured by employers to self-censor what they say in their private lives, including on social media, making it harder and harder to participate in democratic processes.

March for Australia has no interest in these genuine struggles for free speech. It openly targets migrant and refugee communities, LGBTIQ+ people, First Nations people and abortion rights.

NO TO MARCH FOR AUSTRALIA, NO TO ONE NATION

With Pauline Hanson’s One Nation growing in the polls, we can’t sit back while racists mobilise.

Please message the page or email info@apnsa.org if your organisation would like to support this action.

See you at Mukata/Hindmarch Sq, 11:30 am Sunday 30 August.

YES TO FREE SPEECH. NO TO RACISM.

SAGE is a community for all folks who love and care for our planet. Our monthly gatherings are a space to nourish each other, so that we can nourish our world.

Join us for an evening of delicious food, hearty discussion and new skills. The night will start with a shared meal, then we will move into community announcements, then into open space workshops, with lots of space for social breaks throughout.

This month’s SAGE will focus on the anti-war movement in this country. We’ll hear from & about people who are fighting militarism and imperialism – from opposing the AUKUS submarine pact, to calling for the closure of intelligence facilities and weapons companies, to protesting Australia’s alignment with US-led wars. We’ll also learn about ways to get involved.

We’re inviting speakers (to be announced soon) but we also welcome workshop/discussion ideas about the theme from everyone in the community – no need to message us, just turn up with your idea!

If you’ve got a mate who could run a good workshop on this theme, call them up & invite them.

Plus, as always, anyone can bring workshop or discussion ideas that are completely unrelated to the theme :)

–

Some other things you might want to bring… 🍲 A plate of food to share for the potluck dinner 🫒 Veggies or seedlings for the produce swap 🧵 Something to mend at the mending corner 🌟 Energy to help shape the new space and make it our own!!

Run through of how the night will (roughly) go… 4:30-5:15pm: Arriving, Sharing food. 5:15-5:45pm: Welcome, Community Announcements. 5:45-7:45pm: Open Space Workshop Sessions (including a break for tea/chats). 7:45-8.00pm: Closing Circle.

All welcome. Come anytime that suits you.

SAGE will now be held at YouthInc, an alternative school for 18-25 yr olds in a cool converted church on Pulteney St. We’re keen to build a mutual relationship with the generous YouthInc crew and help make the space our own for the long haul.

Of course, SAGE is still (& will always be) for all ages. Young or old, parent or pensioner, first-timer or seasoned activist - everyone is welcome.
