Editor's Notes
- Hunters, gatherers Today live in cities in towns, or in reserves set aside for them by government Deep respect for the land and link it to religious beliefs
- The world existed, but was featureless. Giant semi-human beings, resembling plants or animals, rose up from the plains where they had been slumbering for countless ages. These ancient heroes roamed the land aimlessly. As they wandered around, they carried out the tasks that the present Aborigines do today- including camping, making fires, digging for water, fighting each other, and performing ceremonies. When the heroes became tired of doing these things, Dreamtime came to an end. Power of the ancestors Way of life Connection to particular sites

- - accuses the contemporary art world of manipulating and exploiting indigenous art while he himself ironically utilizes an earthy palette and brushstroke derived from traditional Aboriginal desert painting in his wor Bell describes himself as “more an activist than an artist,” and indeed much of his work is politically charged, addressing issues such as the racist Australian culture within which he finds himself. Bell’s vivid and provocative paintings and videos signal an important and powerful voice in contemporary art. frustrations and grievances caused by the colonization of Australia. Today, Bell’s pieces utilize dot application, cross hatching and traditional hand stencils to examine ‘the historical treatment of Aboriginal people after European settlement’. His work addresses contemporary issues such as religion, art and politics, and responds to issues of oppression, frustration and discrimination. Notably, he also derives influence from American 20th century pop artist Roy Lichtenstein, and Bell uses the popular comic book style to illustrate the friction found on the Black/White divide.
