I just transcribed the text. Perry discusses the Eddie Burrup affair and the work of Indigenous artists in the context of the excellent 2013 @royalacademy exhibition Australia. Here Indigenous artists are denied both the status of artists, and even of being "contemporary"! (4/6)

It was a shock to hear 19th-century anthropological tropes of Indigenous people living in the past, and their art not really art, refracted in a Reith Lecture by a @britishmuseum Trustee—even in 2013 out of step with the great @royalacademy curation https://www.royalacademy.org.uk/exhibition/australia (5/6)

Radio 4's #quarantineculture programming will give museums & curators unexpected time and space to reflect on how the changing world around us is totally reframing our practice. How will the upcoming repeats of #HistoryoftheWorldin100Objects sound 2nd time round? We'll see. (6/6)
