The Data Imaginary Podcast

Photos by Andy Willis In this recording Amanda Hayman, Co-Director of Blaklash Creative, introduces the Blak Feeds format, followed by the artist talk by Judy Watson (starts at 00:04:45) Judy Watson (b.1959) lives and works in Brisbane. Watson graduated from the University of Southern Queensland in 1979, the University of Tasmania in 1982 and Monash University in 1986. Using printmaking, drawing, painting and installation, Watson often explores themes relating to her Aboriginal heritage. Watson’s matrilineal family is from Waanyi country in Northwest Queensland and her work is inspired by traditional Waanyi culture. Watson often uses archival documents and photographs in her art, and the extensive documentation of Aboriginal people in Australia as a resource, and describes discovering how her ancestors were treated as a ‘heavy burden’. – for more information, visit The Data Imaginary artist page.

Weatherall’s practice critiques the legacies of colonisation; where social, economic and political realities perpetually validate Eurocentric ideologies. Drawing on his personal experience and cultural knowledge, he uses image, material and metaphor to contribute to a cross-cultural dialogue by offering alternate ways of seeing and understanding.– for more information, visit The Data Imaginary artist page To learn more about the Blak Feeds format, please listen to Amanda Hayman, Co-Director Blaklash Creative, during the first 00:04:45 of the Judy Watson podcast.
