- LIN ONUS Art that charms and cajoles while it makes a serious statement. An account of the enduring influence of the Melbourne artist whose work changed after a series of sojourns in Arnhem Land.
- MATTER OF FACT Is it Richard or Richie talking? Bruce McLean interviews the artist only to find that the tough talking Richie is shadowed by a gentler Richard Bell, mentor to up and coming artists.
- SOVEREIGN WARRIOR Surfboards resembling Aboriginal shields, racist clichés in huge vinyl-cut letters, fine pencil drawings of family members - Vernon Ah Kee chooses the visual language to suit the purpose. An inside look at the artist's thinking.
- ART IS HISTORY Art is a potent way to learn and feel the pain of a history of stolen land, massacres and discriminatory laws. Discover the multi-dimensional creative vision of Fiona Foley.
- FROM TIWI WITH LOVE Satire and pastiche are Bindi Cole's answer to the shock-jock charge of not being 'Aboriginal enough'. Her series on the cross-dressing 'sistagirls' of the Tiwi Islands is like a classic movie that never existed.
- A LITTLE LESS CONVERSATION Dianne Jones and her friends strike poses as the blak Audrey Hepburn, Dean Martin or Mona Lisa, and say something witty and profound about how Indigenous Australians are visualised.
