Today, writer Quentin Sprague, with his piece from The Monthly. 

He examines the recent revelations of “white hands on black art” – reports of White gallery figures instructing and even working on the canvases of Indigenous artists – and examines how white Australia applies the idea of ‘authenticity’ onto the work of Indigenous artists.

Quentin will read his story, ‘White privilege and black disadvantage in the Aboriginal art industry’ after a short conversation.
