Provocateur. Poet. Piss-taker. 50 years of First Nations activism with artist Richard Bell.
Richard Bell is a self-styled ‘activist masquerading as an artist’. His confrontational art and attitude have stirred the Australian art scene while being lauded internationally, having seen the prestigious walls of the Tate Modern. But Bell has one goal: justice and land recognition for First Nations people in Australia.
Documentarian Larissa Behrendt’s ruminates on Richard’s life and powerful work, assembling a supporting cast of artists, academics, and activists, from his childhood on Bidjara Country (Charleville, QLD), his schooling on the streets of Redfern and the Canberra Tent Embassy, Bell’s art reflects on how much has been done towards achieving Indigenous emancipation, while being aware of the long road ahead.
