• Thesis Proposal
  The research has three main aims:
  1. To investigate the way Indigenous peoples are represented, not represented or misrepresented in public spaces.
  Representation is defined as expressed through commemorative structures (monuments and memorials), public and civic art, place naming and signage, and the articulation of cultural precincts (design, material thinking and material meaning, the symbolism contained).
  2. To investigate the way the colonising culture expresses its connectedness to the indigenous nature of place (its own sense of indigeneity) in the contemporary articulation of cultural precincts.
  3. To explore links, if any, between the expressions of indigeneity and articulation of cultural precincts, and long term ecological and cultural sustainability
