This week in the tutorial, we discussed the issue of ownership in Indigenous art. I had actually bookmarked this article to read and totally forgot about it, only to have it pop up in the tutorial discussion (which is a shame - I could have had much more to say).

The article talks about where exactly the money from the sales of Aboriginal art goes - which seems to be a mystery - and how new reforms hope to regulate how income is spent within an artist community. Interesting stuff...I don't really know how I feel about all of it, though. I'd like to hear some discussion of it from an Aboriginal artist's point of view.
