Full Description:: This month the Courting Blakness: Recalibrating Knowledge in the Sandstone University initiative will take place at tTe University of Queensland (UQ). Curated by Adjunct Professor Fiona Foley, Courting Blakness involves transforming the UQ Great Court area through displaying artworks produced by eight Aboriginal artists.

As part of this initiative, two dialogue groups will meet to discuss the issues and opportunities that arise in relation to Courting Blakness.
