The Stop [the] Gap exhibition, curatored by Brenda Coft, held at the Samstag museum earlier this year. This is a great example of the different Indigenous and Non-indigenous relationships and cross-cultural interchange, not only in Australia, but in other countries around the world.

Sometimes I get very "Australia is the only country on earth" - "Hey everyone! come and look at our problems!!" and "Look! we are a wonderful, cultural country, who accepts anyone and everyone no matter their race!".

However, watching this introduction to the exhibition highlighted the importance of International exchanges and recognition, in a global context. We (Australia) should not discount the fact that we are part of the world, we can take political, cultural and behaivoural inspiration from other countries, such as Canada - who had a similar past in terms of Indigenous people being displaced.
