Indigenous artist seeking body of Australian of British descent for 'sacrifice to past sins'

Wed 8 Mar 2023

A Tasmanian Aboriginal artist says he has already received responses to his advertisement seeking an Australian of British descent to donate their future dead body for an art installation.

Nathan Maynard's artwork, Relict Act, will be part of the Hobart Current arts festival, where he wants the public to draw comparisons between the historic theft of Aboriginal remains and artefacts, and the voluntary donation of white Australian remains.
