ABSTRACT
Still in My Mind: Gurindji Location, Experience and Visuality 1 is a practice-based research project that addresses the personal and political capabilities of Indigenous performative autoethnography, encompassing the multiple theoretical standpoints that have emerged from my working closely with members of my patrilineal family and community at diverse sites across Australia. The chapter is structured as a diptych, setting side by side texts with different tones and contexts, one apparently more academic, the other more personal, reflecting the academic and curatorial exchange that subtended the research. 2 I argue, however, that both texts are equally ‘personal–political’ in their explanatory power, the play between the two suggesting how the multiple viewpoints of Indigenous performative autoethnography resonate in textual form.
