Monumental Disruptions: Aboriginal People and Colonial Commemorations in So-Called Australia Brand / Stella Danalis In the bedroom above herWhat is the place of Australias colonial memorials in todays society? Do we remove, destroy or amend? Monumental Disruptions investigates how these memorials have been viewed, and are viewed, by First Nations people to find a way forward. In June 2020, on the heels of Australias James Cook anniversary commemorations and statue toppling Black Lives Matter protests in the USA, dozens of police were sent to guard a statue of Cook in Hyde Park, Sydney.
