Socially Engaged Art and Indigenous, Urban and Environmental Histories

Jonathan Jones is an artist and member of the Wiradjuri and Kamilaroi Nations in Southeastern Australia. In 2016, he was selected for the Kaldor Public Art Projects (KPAP) series in Sydney, Australia. His ambitious public art installation Barrangal Dyara (skin and bones), was a critique of the misrepresentation and erasure of Aboriginal history, and a powerful statement of hope and regeneration. A central part of that installation was community involvement, including the participation of Aboriginal elders, university students, scholars in a wide range of disciplines and the public. In another recent project, he collected contributed bird feathers from the public and incorporated them into art on the plight of Australian birds. The project team will bring Jones to Cayuga Nation homelands on the Cornell University campus and to other Haudenosaunee communities for cultural exchanges.
