Questions of representation weave through Art Guide’s January/February issue. Cover artist, Arrernte and Kalkadoon painter Thea Anamara Perkins captures this through her beguiling portraits and landscapes. Dylan Mooney looks at representations of love between queer Indigenous people, Gail Mabo is capturing memory and history, and Jasmine Togo-Brisby generously talks through the history behind her works; her great-great-grandparents were part of the Pacific slave trade in Australia. Such intersections of identity, history and place are incredibly distilled in a conversation between Andy Butler, Lisa Hilli and James Ngyuen. And Timmah Ball looks at the complexity of protesting unethical funding—and how boycotting is often its own privilege.
