Two prominent Aboriginal thought leaders will join the University of South Australia as part of a new Visiting Research Fellowship scheme. Curator, artist and activist, Djon Mundine OAM FAHA, and author, researcher and arts critic, Dr Tyson Yunkaporta were named the inaugural Pirku murititya UniSA Visiting Research Fellows – a donor co-sponsored program.
Djon is celebrated as a foundational figure in the exhibition of contemporary Aboriginal art. He is a fierce advocate and a driving force, consistently contributing to the development and exhibition of contemporary Aboriginal art in Australia, and internationally.
Tyson is an acclaimed scholar and the author of the award-winning book Sand Talk: How Indigenous Thinking can Save the World. His work provides us with a different way to make sense of the world and explores how we can apply Indigenous methods of inquiry to resolve some of world's most complex crises.
In this yarn, facilitated by UniSA's Professor Lester-Irabinna Rigney AM, the Pirku murititya UniSA Visiting Research Fellows share their wealth of experience and expertise in their respective fields.
