The Menzies Australia Institute and I are launching SATELLITE DREAMING REVISITED<https://satellitedreaming.com/>, a web resource that describes and analyses the last four decades of Australian Indigenous media.



The (online) launch event on Friday 11 March 9am (GMT)/ 8pm (AEDT). I will introduce the website, then Stephen Morgan from the Menzies Australia Institute, King's College London, will chair a conversation & Q&A with Philip Batty and Frances Peters-Little.



In conjunction with the launch, there is an opportunity to see the documentary SHE WHO MUST BE LOVED (Erica Glynn, 2018), about the life of Freda Glynn, co-founder of the Central Australian Aboriginal Media Association (CAAMA) and Imparja TV. The film will be available to stream from 28 February - 13 March.

SATELLITE DREAMING REVISITED was developed at Goldsmiths - University of London, by Tony Dowmunt, in collaboration with Nicolas Lee and others at CAAMA Productions in Alice Springs. The project was funded by an Emeritus Fellowship awarded by the Leverhulme Trust.

In response to the ‘recovery plan’ imposed by senior management at Goldsmiths that involves up to 46 redundancies, the University and College Union (UCU) has censured Goldsmiths by introducing a global academic boycott<https://www.ucu.org.uk/article/11947/Goldsmiths-hit-with-international-boycott>. This ‘greylisting’ means that members of trade unions and the international academic community are invited to express their opposition to the announced staff redundancies and restructure by refusing to participate in events organised at Goldsmiths. It is the ultimate sanction, designed to exert pressure on the senior management of the institution to reconsider its position.
