Abstract: The fourth issue of Artlink Indigenous will turn its gaze to Indigenous lived experience and its salience to contemporary Indigenous art. The co-editors Carly Lane and Glenn Iseger-Pilkington write: "Sharing these experiences is pivotal to the future of not only Indigenous people's cultural independence, but also to the future of visual arts as expressive/ interrogative tools in which to share our cultures, concerns and aspirations." The issue will feature multiple Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (and non-Indigenous) voices that debate and document the personal and shared experiences that form the foundations of contemporary Indigenous art today. Articles range from analysis and critique of the work of Indigenous artists from all over Australia to overviews reflecting on recent significant Indigenous art exhibitions.
