Racebook is a response to racist comments posted in two Facebook groups: ‘Aboriginal Spongebob’ and ‘Giving ya wife a sniff of ya petrol cos ur a top noonga’. The letters of Racebook are formed from actual comments posted in those two groups. They give a snapshot of some people’s attitudes toward, and perceptions of, Aboriginal people in Australia. One of the most disturbing comments, about wanting to shoot Aboriginals, was posted by an army cadet who is also a member of the Sporting shooters’ Association of Australia. At the other extreme was a comment posted by someone who said, “im suprised racism stil exitsts.” [sic] Racebook represents the artist’s purging of the hateful comments while raising awareness of the attitudes being expressed in social media © Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory

Raymond Zada: Bridging History and Perception Through Visual Narrative

Raymond Zada is an Adelaide-based visual artist whose work delves into profound questions about Australian identity, storytelling, and the relationship between language and reality. Born in 1971 in Adelaide, Australia, he carries a rich heritage blending Barkindji Aboriginal ancestry with Afghan and Scottish influences – a tapestry that informs his artistic vision and contributes to his exploration of cultural complexities.

Early Life & Education: Zada’s upbringing in Port Augusta and Marree instilled within him an intimate understanding of the Australian Outback landscape and its significance to Indigenous culture. His Aboriginal heritage, specifically Barkindji descent, is central to his artistic perspective, grounding his work in ancestral traditions and histories.
Emergence as Artist: Zada began honing his skills in photography, video, and digital design, recognizing the potential of these mediums to convey narratives that challenge conventional understandings. This commitment to experimentation quickly yielded impressive results, establishing him as a respected voice within contemporary Australian art.

Notable Achievements & Recognition

Zada’s artistic journey has been marked by critical acclaim and prestigious awards. In 2013, he secured the New Media category of the Telstra National Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Art Award for *Sorry*, a poignant exploration of Australian history and confronting societal biases surrounding Indigenous experiences. This piece powerfully illustrates Zada's dedication to addressing important social issues through artistic expression. Furthermore, in 2012, his contribution to the Works on Paper category garnered recognition at the same award show for *Racebook*, an ambitious project that interrogated perceptions of Aboriginal identity within a global context. The acquisition of *Racebook* by prominent galleries underscores its impact and significance within the art world.

OutBlak Adventures: Zada’s involvement in *OutBlak Adventures*, a theatrical production examining themes of family and sexuality, exemplifies his commitment to fostering dialogue and challenging assumptions about Indigenous communities. The project earned him a Ruby Award for Community Impact Under $100,000, highlighting its effectiveness in engaging audiences and promoting understanding.
Exhibitions & Collections: Zada’s artworks have graced venues such as Tandanya National Aboriginal Cultural Institute, Counihan Gallery, Melbourne; and *Feast* Festival Hub, Adelaide. His pieces are held within the collections of the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra; Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory, Darwin; and Art Gallery of South Australia, Adelaide – testament to their enduring artistic merit and contribution to Australian cultural heritage.

Artistic Style & Influences

Zada’s artistic style is characterized by a meticulous approach to visual storytelling, utilizing photography, video, and digital design to convey complex narratives. He consistently seeks to disrupt conventional representations of Indigenous culture, prompting viewers to reconsider their perspectives on history and identity. His work draws inspiration from Aboriginal storytelling traditions—particularly the Barkindji people's oral histories—which emphasize connection to land and ancestral knowledge. The influence of experimental filmmaking techniques is evident in his exploration of time, space, and perception.

Contemporary Relevance & Legacy

Raymond Zada’s artistic endeavors contribute significantly to ongoing conversations about cultural representation and social justice within Australia. His commitment to confronting uncomfortable truths—such as the biases embedded in tourism advertising—underscores a broader concern for fostering empathy and promoting genuine understanding between cultures. By blending visual media with theatrical performance, Zada pushes boundaries and encourages audiences to engage critically with narratives that shape our collective consciousness. He remains an influential figure within Australian contemporary art, continuing to inspire artists and scholars alike through his unwavering dedication to artistic innovation and social commentary.
