Artists' statement

"The context of this project is reconciliation.We believe that it is not until the past is.confronted and accepted that we can move on and build a creative and harmonious future. Art is a medium to present material in a manner that allows for the public's own reading and respornse, This project-asserts that Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians have a shared history, and that in order to have a shared future we need to acknowledge successes and failures from the past iri our contemporary reading of history. "

Abhoriginal and non-Aboriginal visual artists-Ray Thomas (Gunnai tribe Gippsland Victoria), and Megan Evans, collaborated with Aboriginal researcher/writer Robert Mate Mate (Woomblnda/Berlgaba tribe Queensland), to research, design and create the `Another View' Walking Trail. The 17 artworks have been created as counterpoints to the selected sites and were designed and made collaboratively by Ray and Megan unless otherwise stated.
