ABC News (Australia) published this video item, entitled “Aboriginal artist sets record straight with ‘bloody’ statue of William Crowther | ABC News” – below is their description.
The head and hands of a controversial colonial statue in a Hobart park have been covered in red to represent his mutilation of Tasmanian Aboriginal man William Lanne after his death.
The statue of 19th century naturalist, doctor and former premier William Crowther in Franklin Square has been “reinterpreted” by Tasmanian Aboriginal artist Allan Mansell as part of a Hobart City Council project designed to encourage conversation about the future of the statue.
