Ngaliya Barwon Gami (Our Great Uncle)

documentary heritage
  • Kupu whakaahua

    Lithograph, printed in yellow, red, blue, and black ink, from four stones; screenprint, printed in grey ink, from one screen on paper. "The print explores the service of Cope’s great great uncle Richard Martin, an Indigenous Australian who served at Gallipoli

    and on the Western Front. Martin had enlisted in December 1914 but as an Indigenous Australian and legally unable to

    enlist at this time, he declared that he was a New Zealander with five years’ prior service in the Light Horse. In fact, he was

    born on Stradbroke Island, Queensland and had no known previous service. Cope has transcribed a family image of Martin

    in his uniform and placed it over a military map in the Memorial’s collection from the Battle of Dernancourt where he died

    on 28 March 1918. Cope often works with military maps and was interested in the way armies assign foreign places

    familiar names from their home countries, as did colonisers to Aboriginal lands." - Australian War Memorial

  • Artist's bio:
    "Megan Cope is a core member of the Brisbane-based Aboriginal Collective proppaNOW, and has a diverse practice that
    engages with issues of identity, colonisation, the environment and map making. A descendant from the Quandamooka
    region (North Stradbroke Island), Cope’s recent work focuses on the toponymy (the study of place names) and
    geomorphology (the study of the nature and history of landforms) of heavily populated tourist destinations along the east
    coast of Australia. Her work has been included in both national and international exhibitions, including the ARC Biennial in
    Brisbane (2009), Lie of the Land: New Australian Landscapes, Embassy of Australia, Washington DC (2012), and Insurgence:
    proppaNOW, Museum of Australian Democracy, Canberra (2013). In 2012 Cope was commissioned to create a major sitespecific
    work for GOMA, Brisbane." - Australian War Memorial
