EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a thought-provoking mural in Newtown, Sydney, depicting Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison as Captain Cook. Created by talented artist Scott Marsh, the artwork serves as a powerful symbol of the ongoing debates surrounding Australia Day 2021. The controversial holiday has sparked discussions about changing its date or even abolishing it altogether, while also raising questions about Australia Day honors and the appropriateness of holding rallies. In this image captured by Dean Lewins from Australian Associated Press (AAP), we witness the vibrant street art that confronts viewers with contrasting perspectives on history and national identity. By portraying Morrison as Captain Cook, an emblematic figure associated with the arrival of the First Fleet and colonization, Marsh challenges traditional narratives surrounding Australia's past. The mural becomes a focal point for contemplation and dialogue amidst these contentious issues. It invites us to reflect on our shared history and consider alternative viewpoints regarding January 26th – whether it should be celebrated as Australia Day or recognized as Invasion Day. Dean Lewins' skillful photography allows us to appreciate both the artistic detail of Marsh's creation and its impact within its urban context. This photograph not only documents a significant moment in Australian current affairs but also encapsulates how art can provoke conversations that shape our collective understanding of nationhood and cultural heritage.
