She argues that thinking of archival sources not as legal documents, but as artefacts with specific agentic powers, draws attention to the material conditions of their creation and demonstrates the way they are productive of colonial relations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The investigation of the legal historical archive is supplemented by reflections on counter-archival artistic practice that redeploys archival documents in contemporary creative work, to produce historical documents in the present. Dr. Luker uses the work of well-known Australian artist Judy Watson to illustrate her argument.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dr. Trish Luker<\/strong> is Chancellor\u2019s Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Faculty of Law, University of Technology Sydney.
