Aboriginal Flag discussion with Daniel Browning, 2022. ABC Radio National, The Arts Show.

The Aboriginal flag is now free to use by all, after copyright was transferred to the Commonwealth.  Since it was adopted by the Aboriginal tent embassy 50 years ago, the powerful simplicity of the tricolour Aboriginal flag has seen it worn, painted, and flown proudly by generations, the Australian Government recognising it as a ‘flag of Australia’ in 1995. In his prize-winning thesis, scholar Mathieu Gallois makes the case that Harold Thomas’ iconic red-black-and-ochre design is more than a symbol -- but an artwork in its own right.
