Art/Law Talks
Welcome to this Art/Law Talk with Malian/French artist Aboubakar Fofana in conversation with Dr Alice Palmer (Program Director, Institute for International Law and the Humanities, Melbourne Law School) and Laureate Professor, Sundhya Pahuja (Director of the Laureate Research Program in Global Corporations and International Law). Aboubakar Fofana’s work features indigo, a plant that he grows, harvests and processes to integrate into sculptural installations exploring the complex histories and knowledges associated with the trade and use of the natural pigment. He was visiting Australia in early 2023 to undertake a residency with not-for-profit arts organisation InPlace at Garambi Baanj/Laughing Waters Cultural Precinct just outside Naarm/Melbourne. Greta Robenstone filmed our conversation, which took place on the unceded territory of the Wurundjeri People, in the System Garden at the University of Melbourne.
