This article illuminates the role of Indigenous and refugee autobiographies in serving as a radical critique of the settler colonial state. By tracing the powerful stories told by the dispossessed and displaced, we show how forced movements of Indigenous and refugee people are interlinked and foundational to the making of the settler colony. Reading the histories of settler colonial nations through these self-expressions is vital in radically revising current national historical narratives that continue to privilege ideas of terra nullius, stories of ‘free’ migration, and the ‘othering’ of refugees as a contemporary ‘problem’ that is historically unprecedented.
“Unsettling Portraits” is a three-part collaborative podcast series with Indigenous artists and scholars from across the Pacific, Australia and North America, in which we explore together the problems and challenges of colonial portraiture of Indigenous peoples, how contemporary artists have turned the tables on the European gaze to unsettle colonial history.
