Growing up on Flinders Islands – about 30 kilometres from the northeast coast of trouwunna/lutruwitta, Tasmania -- Uncle Rex Greeno has spent most of his life on the water so it’s no wonder that when he sat down to document what he saw he drew boats.

These drawings eventually started to incorporate another of his passions: the art of fishing.

Uncle Rex would depict pre-colonial scenes of families on the shore building canoes, making nets and fishing for food. Other drawings tell stories of early contact.

For Uncle Rex, it’s a way of re-centring the humanity of his people.

Now his drawings – along with two watercrafts Uncle Rex has built out of traditional materials – are on display at the Tasmania Museum and Art Gallery.

Long before 1788, cultural and design traditions of Blakfullas flourished for thousands of generations. 

Our art shaped the continent as we know it today… but these continuing artistic practices and the new art forms inspired by those traditions weren’t recognised as 'fine art' until the late 1980s.

It’s an oversight rooted in scientific racism and the violence of colonisation.

So when Professor Marcia Langton was approached by her university to curate an exhibition showcasing the depth and breadth of First Nations art she knew she’d need to reckon with the darker side of art collecting in order to engage in real ‘truth telling’.

With the exhibition due to open in May 2025, Marcia discussed the catalogue she co-edited with Judith Ryan.
