January 26 in Australia is Invasion Day – the date on which in 1788 the First Fleet landed. This date is officially ‘Australia Day’, but there is a growing campaign to change the date of Australia’s national day. This week, we are discussing Hey Bros by Ian Waldron, a work which engages directly with issues of Indigenous sovereignty, appropriation, and British colonialism. Exploring these issues, we discuss John Constable, Just Stop Oil, and how art can be used to add emotional impact to activism. See images here!
