You Can Go Now - Film Screening

You Can Go Now looks at the life and provocative work and writings of First Nations artist, Richard Bell. It reveals the ‘two Richards’ – ‘Richie’ the provocateur and enfante terrible of the art world who challenges its whiteness and the Richard who spent his childhood living in a tin shed, learnt his politics on the streets of Redfern and is known in his own community as an activist. His polemics and creative outputs provide a lens through which to consider the last 50 years of First Nations activism in Australia and its links to global protest movements.

Join us for this screening, including opening remarks by Distinguished Professor Larissa Behrendt AO, the film's director and Laureate Fellow at UTS Jumbunna Institute for Indigenous Education and Research.
