Albert’s exhibition asserts sovereignty over souvenirs
Aboriginalia is the term created by First Nations artist and curator Tony Albert to describe the kitschy mass-produced objects featuring caricatures of Indigenous peoples and cultural designs widely distributed across Australia in supposedly pre-enlightened times.
These objects abounded in gift shops, thrift shops and people’s homes and from a young age the Girramay, Kuku Yalanji, Yidindji artist, growing up in Meanjin/Brisbane, collected them all.
“I rarely saw Aboriginal people: not at the supermarket, not on the bus, not on television, or anywhere I went,” Albert said.
“So it was to my great delight, and I am sure my parents’ horror, when I discovered and began collecting from our local second-hand store all the cups, plates, trays, playing cards, statuettes, figurines – anything I could get – that were decorated with images of Aboriginal people.”
By his early twenties Albert realised these objects were problematic. Having coined the term Aboriginalia, he turned the tables and began using these objects as his materials, producing works that sparked often difficult conversations about Australian identity.
These new assemblages of ‘Aboriginalia’ transform the visual language of colonisation, turning objects of prejudice into symbols of resistance, resilience and pride.

Much like Australia's own Emu in the sky, here we have the Ñandú in the night sky. The Ñandú (or Rhea) are large ratites (flightless birds) in the order Rheiformes, native to South America, distantly related to the ostrich and emu (image source: Fefo Bouvier).
