The Art of Looking Up
Catherine McCormack
The Art of Looking Up is a desirable artbook surveying 40 spectacular ceilings from around the world, including those that have graced the brushes of artists including Michelangelo, Marc Chagall and Cy Twombly. It tells the stories surrounding each ceiling, which often make bold but controlled political, religious or cultural statements, revealing much about the society and times in which they were created.
Finding the Heart of the Nation
Thomas Mayor
Since the Uluru Statement from the Heart was formed in 2017, Thomas Mayor has travelled around the country to promote its vision of a better future for Indigenous Australians. He’s visited communities big and small, often with the Uluru Statement canvas rolled up in a tube under his arm. Through the story of his own journey and interviews with 20 key people, Thomas taps into a deep sense of our shared humanity.
Thomas believes that we will only find the heart of our nation when the First peoples – the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders – are recognised with a representative Voice enshrined in the Australian Constitution.
