In our past/present/future continuum, we can look simultaneously to the potential of what is and what can be, acknowledging that what we are currently seeing and experiencing is also that which is 'not yet'. Friend and fellow Gamilaroi Countryman Joshua Waters speaks to the sight/foresight of our ancestors through a story of Garruu Winangali Gii/Uncle Paul Spearim, pointing out to him a barran/boomerang in a tree. Joshua recounts how he spent minutes 'foolishly looking...for a literal boomerang', only to realise later that what Garruu was talking about was the 'future potential state' of a particular branch that had the perfect curvature from which to shape a barran1. Looking to the future, in the now, we also acknowledge and deeply winangali/listen/understand/ respect the past work and words of other Blak artists, authors, and thinkers who have generously shaped and progressed what is-in terms of Indigenous art and art criticism, our ongoing agitation for autonomy, agency, and the re-centring and de-homogenising of our art practices amidst constant mainstreaming pressures and perspectives.
