Archie Moore (Kamilaroi)
Installation (selected Hansard parliamentary records, pyrographed referendum record, table)
Text (2018) is located in the embassy’s conference room alongside Megan Cope’s (Quandamooka) The Blaktism (2014). Text presents parliamentary records from Australia’s inception in 1901 through to the infamous maiden speech of anti-immigration politician Pauline Hanson, emphasising politicians’ repeated rhetorical use of the phrase ‘swamped by…’ (‘…Asians’; ‘…the Aboriginal vote’; ‘…Communists etc.). Such rhetoric draws attention to enduring continuities in racist paranoias by no means restricted to the ‘fifth continent’.

Archie Moore (Kamilaroi. Born 1970, Toowoomba, lives Brisbane) works across media in portrayals of self and national histories. His ongoing interests include key signifiers of identity – skin, language, smell, home, flags – as well as the borders of intercultural understanding and misunderstanding, including the wider concerns of racism. Uncertainty is an ongoing theme pertaining to his paternal Kamilaroi heritage. Moore completed his Bachelor of Visual Arts at Queensland University of Technology in 1998. In 2001, he was awarded the Millennial Anne & Gordon Samstag International Visual Arts Scholarship which enabled him to study at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague. He has held regular solo exhibitions of his work for two decades in university, not-for-profit and commercial galleries across Australia, as well as being invited to present a solo show in Japan and a two-person show in the UK. He has been commissioned for the 3rd National Indigenous Art Triennale and the 20th Biennale of Sydney. Archie Moore is represented by The Commercial Gallery, Sydney.

One key architect involved in the urban planning of Marzahn, Wolf-Rüdiger Eisentraut, was in 1996 to renovate the embassy itself when it was transformed, briefly, into a medical laboratory.
A 1970 Neues Deutschland article compared Australia to ‘neo-colonialist’ South Africa, citing its ambitions towards regional dominance, its racist ‘White Australia’ policy and ‘arch-reactionary’ denigration of Aboriginal people. See: Walter Kocher, “Der folgsame Vetter des Uncle Sam”, Neues Deutschland, 12.7.1970, 6.
The site was rented from the GDR by Australia, however operations were prematurely closed down in 1986. Held by the public hand for a time, the site subsequently hosted a kindergarten, the Deutsche Industrie- und Handelsbank AG, and the medical laboratory ‘bioscientia Institut für Laboruntersuchungen Ingelheim GmbH’, before being privatised by the BImA) (Institute for Federal Real Estate) to investor Lars Dittrich. At this point, it hosted the now-insolvent media start-up tape.tv, before being being resold to real estate developer Prexxot GmbH, who sublets it to the artist studio complex Atelierhaus Australische Botschaft Ost. Separate to the Ex-Embassy exhibition, at the time of writing, artists in the studio house are currently attempting to extract the building from the speculative real estate bubble, looking towards collective ownership formats.

Wolf-Rüdiger Eisentraut, einer der leitenden Architekten, der z.B. in die Stadtplanung Marzahns involviert war, war 1996 mit der Renovierung der Botschaft beschäftigt, als diese kurzzeitig in ein medizinisches Labor umgestaltet wurde.
Ein Artikel der Zeitlung Neues Deutschland von 1970 vergleicht Australien mit dem ‘neo-kolonialistischen’ Südafrika und bezeichnet dabei Australiens Ambitionen in Bezug auf eine regionale Vorherrschaft als rassistische ‘White Australia’-Politik und rückschrittliche Denunzierung der indigenen Bevölkerung. See: Walter Kocher, “Der folgsame Vetter des Uncle Sam”, Neues Deutschland, 12.7.1970, 6.
Australien pachtete das Grundstück von der DDR, allerdings wurde der Betrieb frühzeitig in 1986 eingestellt. Für einige Zeit öffentlich betrieben, wurde das Gelände kurzeitig von einem Kindergarten genutzt, darauffolgend von der Deutschen Industrie- und Handelsbank und dem medizinischem Labor bioscientia Institut für Laboruntersuchungen Ingelheim GmbH, um anschließend durch die BImA (Bundesanstalt für Immobilienaufgaben) privatisiert zu werden. Der Komplex fiel an Investor Lars Dittrich und beherbergte das mittlerweile ins Insolvenz gegangene Media Start-Up tape.tv, wurde dann an die Bauträgerfirma Prexxot GmbH weiterverkauft und ist jetzt das Atelierhaus Australische Botschaft (Ost), eine Ateliergemeinschaft für Künstler, welche momentan den Versuch wagen, das Gebäude dem spekulativen Immobilienmarkt zu entziehen und sich mit Formaten des kollektiven Besitzes beschäftigen.

Here, there is a need to need to point towards — while refusing to appropriate — narratives of Aboriginal resistance to the settler state. A few key dates: In 1972, Aboriginal activists established the Aboriginal Tent Embassy on the lawns of Parliament House, the seat of government in Canberra, which carved out a physical, social and political space of belonging in the Australian capital until today, subverting the version of Australia that parliamentarians wish to portray to diplomatic visitors, and in constant struggle with the colonial state. In 1973 the White Australia policy, which had effectively barred non-European immigrants from moving to Australia, was disbanded with a series of legal amendments prohibiting racial discrimination from being formally included in immigration law. In 1976, following a ten-year strike by the Gurindji people, led by Vincent Lingiari, the Aboriginal Land Rights Act (Northern Territory) became the first ever Australian law to ‘grant’ land rights to Aboriginal people. The lie of terra nullius remained part of Australian common law until it was overturned in Mabo v The State of Queensland in 1992; a later Labor government reneged on the promise of federal land rights, creating a post-Mabo legislative framework for ‘native title,’ as a weaker and more limited set of rights.

Hier ist es notwendig auf Erzählungen – ohne sich diese anzueignen – über den Widerstand der Aborigines gegen den Siedlerstaat hinzuweisen. Ein paar wichtige Daten: Im Jahr 1972 gründeten Aborigine-Aktivist*innen die Aboriginal Tent Embassy (Zelt-Botschaft) auf dem Rasen des Parliament House, dem Regierungssitz in Canberra, die bis heute einen physischen, sozialen und politischen Raum der Zugehörigkeit in der australischen Hauptstadt im ständigen Kampf mit dem Kolonialstaat geschaffen hat, um die Version Australiens, die die Parlamentarier den diplomatischen Besuchern zeigen wollen, zu untergraben. Im Jahr 1973 wurde die “White Australia Policy”, die nicht-europäische Einwanderer effektiv daran gehindert hatte nach Australien zu ziehen, mit einer Reihe von Gesetzesänderungen aufgelöst, die die formelle Einbeziehung von Rassendiskriminierung in das Einwanderungsgesetz verbieten. Nach einem zehnjährigen Streik der Gurindji unter der Führung von Vincent Lingiari, wurde 1976 der Aboriginal Land Rights Act (Northern Territory) das erste australische Gesetz, das den Aborigines Landrechte “gewährte”. Die Lüge von terra nullius blieb Teil des australischen Gewohnheitsrecht bis sie 1992 in Mabo v The State of Queensland aufgehoben wurde; eine spätere Labor-Regierung brach das Versprechen der Bundeslandrechte und schuf einen post-Mabo-Rechtsrahmen für den „Native Title“ (eine Rechtsauslegung, die anerkennt, dass Aborigines in manchen Fällen ein legales Anrecht an kolonialisiertem Land haben) als eine schwächere und beschränktere Reihe von Rechten.

Der Begriff ‘Mob’ bezeichnet eine Gruppe von Menschen. Im Gegensatz zu der allgemeinen Verwendung im Englischen hat ‘Mob’ für die Aborigines keinen abwertenden Unterton, sondern bezeichnet eine Gruppe starker Zusammengehörigkeit: “Mein Mob, meine Leute, meine erweiterte Familie”. Mob wird auch oft benutzt, um eine Sprachgruppe zu bezeichnen.

Of relevance here is the first ACP document laid out in 1931, the “Communist Party’s Fight for Aborigines: Draft Programme of Struggle Against Slavery,” which included a call for the abolition of all forms of ‘forced labour; equal wages; abolition of the Aboriginal Protection Boards . . . capitalism’s slave recruiting agencies and terror organisations; the release of Aboriginal prisoners; the institution of Aboriginal juries for cases involving Aboriginal people; the restoration of Central, Northern and N-W Australia to form independent Aboriginal republics; and the development of Aboriginal culture.’ As Boughton notes, the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) would later reproduce the entire policy in a secret 1962 briefing paper, “Communist Party of Australia Policy and Penetration in Australian Aboriginal Activities and Organisations,” which drew ‘particular attention to the demand which called for: The handing over to the aborigines of large tracts of watered and fertile country, with towns, seaports, railways, roads, etc., to become one or more independent aboriginal states or republics. The handing back to the aborigines of all Central, Northern and North West Australia to enable the aborigines to develop their native pursuits. These aboriginal republics to be independent of Australia or other foreign powers. To have the right to make treaties with foreign powers, including Australia, establish their own army, governments, industries, and in every way be independent of imperialism.’ ASIO also noted the important link, theoretically and practically, between the Comintern ‘line’ on the Aboriginal struggle and the anticolonial struggle in New Guinea.

Von Bedeutung ist hier das erste AKP-Dokument aus dem Jahr 1931, der “Kampf der Kommunistischen Partei für die Aborigines: Entwurf eines Programms zum Kampf gegen die Sklaverei” [“Communist Party’s Fight for Aborigines: Draft Programme of Struggle Against Slavery”], das folgendes fordert: die Abschaffung aller Formen von “Zwangsarbeit, gleiche Löhne, die Abschaffung der ‘Aboriginal Protection Boards’ (Vorstände, siehe https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aboriginal_Protection_Board) – ‘kapitalistische Sklavenrekrutierungsagenturen und Terrororganisationen’ -, die Freilassung aller Aborigine-Häftlinge, die Einrichtung von Aborigine-Jurys für juristische Fälle, an denen Aborigines beteiligt sind, die Wiederherstellung und Bildung unabhängiger Aborigine-Republiken in Zentral-, Nord- und Nord-West-Australien, die die Entwicklung der Aborigine-Kultur” fördern. Wie Boughton feststellt, hat der Australische Sicherheitsdienst (ASIO) später die gesamte Politik in einem geheimen Briefing-Papier von 1962 wiedergeben: “Die Kommunistische Partei Australiens – Politik und Durchdringung von Aktivitäten und Organisationen der australischen Aborigines” [“Communist Party of Australia Policy and Penetration in Australian Aboriginal Activities and Organisations”], die “besondere Aufmerksamkeit auf folgende Forderung lenkt: Die Übergabe großer Teile des bewässerten und fruchtbaren Landes mit Städten, Seehäfen, Eisenbahnen, Straßen usw. an die Aborigines, um ein oder mehrere unabhängige Ureinwohnerstaaten oder -republiken zu bilden. Die Rückgabe ganz Zentral-, Nord- und Nordwestaustralien an die Aborigines, um den Aborigines die Möglichkeit zu geben, ihre einheimischen Interessen zu entwickeln. Diese Ureinwohnerrepubliken sollen unabhängig von Australien oder anderen ausländischen Mächten sein. Sie sollen das Recht haben, Verträge mit ausländischen Mächten, einschließlich Australien, zu schließen, ihre eigene Armee, Regierungen, Industrien zu gründen und in jeder Hinsicht unabhängig vom Imperialismus zu sein.” Die ASIO stellte auch die wichtige Verbindung zwischen der “Komintern-Linie‘ zum Aborigine-Kampf und dem antikolonialen Kampf in Neuguinea fest. — In Bob Boughton, “The Communist Party of Australia’s Involvement in the Struggle for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples’ Rights, 1920-1970,” in Labour and Community: Historical Essays.
