Invasia played on jan 26 in the heart of Redfern, interesting to note the Waradjeri actor won the election, spoken and played by Lorna Munro. It was a landslide win, from the 45 people present 35 voted for blue - Waradjeri. the vast majority of those voters voting for Blue was also stunningly silent as to why. Yes the language was spoken beautifully, it is rare to hear- but there still was a hesitation to our vocality of why Blue. Do we feel certain pressures or obligations that we are not yet comfortable with? Do we still feel unfree to state our view regardless of morality? or cultural expectations? Many cultures of the world have been colonised and horrific crimes done in the name of civilisation. How can we as modern day contemporary thinkers feel included and inclusive, and of value to our feelings? How can we reconcile the actual present and find our voice. It seems indeed we are aurally racist. Our preferences are indeed based on prejudice.
