Minoru Hokari Photo Exhibition "The Call of the Living Earth: Australian Aborigines and Radical Oral History" in Tokyo
6 September 2010 - 12 September 2010
A photography exhibition called "The Call of the Living Earth" will be held at the Ikebukuro campus of Rikkyo University. The exhibition focuses on the dry, reddish-brown earth and landscapes of northern Australia visited by the late Dr. Minoru Hokari while he was doing research into Aboriginal Australian oral histories.
Dr. Hokari, also the author of "Radical Oral History: Experiencing Aboriginal History" (Ochanomizu Press, 2004, Japanese), has attempted to respect, preserve and prioritize the narratives of Aboriginal people through his photographs and his monograph.
Dr. Hokari is remembered with the Minoru Hokari Memorial Scholarship at the Australian National University, where he completed his PhD.
The images in the exhibition are accompanied by Hokari’s captions, retracing his journey through the Aboriginal communities in northern Australia.
