Information
This work explores identity and the historical classification of Aboriginal people in early settler times. The documents printing on the hide are the artists own Certificate of Aboriginality as well as a historical exemption form with one of the questions asking what “Breed” the parents are. These documents have been printing multiple times overlapping to speak to how much paperwork Aboriginal people have had to deal with historically and still to this day. Zalewski has utilised a cow hide to highlight the jarring terminology used and used cattle tags to highlight her European “Breeds” found through family history research. This work was created during the second year of Zalewski’s degree.
