"[A]rt projects as custodial responsibility... many mainstream new media arts exhibitions... have failed to include first-person Aboriginal perspectives, and many Aboriginal art exhibitions have not included new media artworks. It is such gaps and absences that require ongoing need for healing and Decolonisation as a reaction to constantly being written out of contemporary Australia art history."
