Description
Summary:"The Skin of Others" is a series of investigations about modern Australia, told through the extraordinary life of Aboriginal WW1 soldier Douglas Grant (c.1885-1951). A famous man in his day, Grant was an intellectual, a journalist, a soldier, and a bagpipe player with a fine Scottish accent. Compellingly, through Grant's life we gain access to various accounts of Australia, its violent past and its future potential. This series of works recount a tragic national history of Australian colonial relations with First Nations people, they explore the ways we tell the story of our nation, and ultimately they seek a more reconciled, inclusive, and environmentally-sensitive Australian future.
