Near fine condition. Scarce. Describes and illustrates the very early stages of the Canning Stock Route Project. with quotes from and illustrations of the artists involved. "The Project tells an intercultural and intergenerational story of community collaboration and reconciliation. Initiated by FORM in 2006 the Project always aimed to be more than the production and presentation of art: asking audiences to get to know the artists and learn from their stories and aspirations to explore the cultural diversity of Aboriginal communities and their interconnections with each other and their Country and their part in a greater Australian story. . The Canning Stock Route cuts a single line across three deserts - the Great Sandy the Little Sandy and the Gibson - along nearly 2000 kilometres of unforgiving dirt track and hundreds of sandhills. Although the non-Indigenous history of the stock route is fairly well-known the Aboriginal story has until now only been glimpsed in paintings of celebrated Aboriginal artists like Rover Thomas and Eubena Nampitjin. The Canning Stock Route Project set out to tell this story through Aboriginal art and in Aboriginal voices. Working directly with the art centres the Canning Stock Route Project researched the artists' connections to the Canning Stock Route story recording hundreds of oral histories painting stories and hundreds of hours of exquisitely shot high definition digital film."
