- Title
Culture Cullt Clan 2001: comments on the survival of Torres Strait culture.
- Authors
Peacock, Janice
- Abstract
The article focuses on an art installation titled, "Culture Cullt Clan 2001," which was created as a response of a female urban mainland Torres Strait Islander to a persistent general belief that Islanders have no history. In particular it addresses the work of the anthropologist Roger Sandall, and his comments about the primitiveness of Indigenous cultures. Sandall claims that indigenous cultures have nothing to offer the modern world and need to reach civilisation through assimilation and the acquisition of the rules of civil society.
