Resumo

How to settle on one star from among the galaxy of Aboriginal contemporary art practice? Most awards are bestowed on one that burns the brightest - a showy Venus in the night sky - but the AU$25,000 Kate Challis RAKA Award is more academic. Much like astronomers looking to track a comet or asteroid, the RAKA aims to pinpoint an elusive celestial body - in this particular edition, an Indigenous visual arts practitioner - orbiting in a five-year cycle.
