Working through a deeply personal lens, and drawing on both individual and collective histories, he takes the visual language of colonisation—kitsch objects and stereotyped images among them—and turns objects of prejudice into symbols of resistance, resilience and pride.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrganised around themes of past, present and future, the book traces his development and opens up the questions his work keeps asking: how to remember complex and traumatic histories, how to do them justice and how to rewrite them. Edited by Liz Nowell, with essays by leading curators and writers and a bold graphic design, it positions Albert as a central figure in Australia's ongoing story of truth-telling and cultural renewal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAround 980 images spanning painting, photography, sculpture and installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEssays by leading curators and writers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrganised around themes of past, present and future\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned with a bold, graphic approach that matches the work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Discover\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow Albert transforms colonial imagery and kitsch into statements of pride\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe personal and collective histories that drive his practice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHis role in Australia's culture of truth-telling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe breadth of a practice working across many media\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTony Albert is a Girramay, Yidinji and Kuku-Yalanji artist whose work explores Aboriginal culture, identity and history.
