dc.description.abstractAs inhabitants of the global south, Australian art/education communities steadfastly continue adhering to paradigms emanating from the global north. While this tendency has long characterised aspirations of Australian art institutions, it is becoming increasingly evident in the corporatising bureaucracies of art Academe which require compliance with Euro-American models, not only in administrative systems, but in learning and teaching, as well as research measurement. While „Asian‟ art has at last appeared on Australian cultural radar,serious attention is yet to be paid to the potential of shared experience with, and difference from, our neighbours in the southern hemisphere in terms of Indigenous and colonial histories, cultures, pedagogies and political systems. Given the propensity for lateral thinking and inter-disciplinarity in the „creative arts sector‟, the situation is perplexing. This paper posits historical discomfort with „our‟ Antipodean place as a major factor in the disregard for potentially transformative south-south axes of alignment
