Melbourne’s Police State, Art and Christianity with Bindi Cole Chocka
Tuesday Sep 08, 2020
Tuesday Sep 08, 2020
Award winning artist Bindi Cole Chocka was born in 1975 in Melbourne, Australia. She studied at Northern Melbourne Institute of TAFE, Federation University and is currently undertaking a PhD at Deakin University.
Bindi Cole Chocka is a resilient and ingenious Melbourne-born photographer, new media artist, writer and curator who speaks compellingly through her photographs, videos, installations and writing work. Chocka’s work often references her life story and experiences, such as her heritage, the importance of Christianity in her life, and the impact of politics, the law and other power structures on her lived experience and that of her family and community. Her deeply personal and powerful artistic practice questions the way people circumscribe and misconstrue contemporary identity and experience.
Chocka works to expose the questions most are afraid to ask. At times, her artworks are so personal, cathartically imbuing them with a gritty honesty, that the viewer’s experience can verge on voyeurism. Chocka’s work exposes the latent and unspoken power dynamics of global culture in the here and now. She subtly but powerfully reveals some uncomfortable truths about the fundamental disconnection between who we are - the communities and identities by which we shape our sense of self - and how the prevailing culture attempts to place and define us.
In 2010, Chocka was listed as one of the Top 100 Most Influential People in Melbourne. Since her first solo show in 2007, Chocka’s work has been widely exhibited in solo and group exhibitions including the National Gallery of Victoria, Art Gallery of NSW, Museum of Contemporary Art, Queensland Gallery of Modern Art, National Portrait Gallery, Perth Institute of Contemporary Art, Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Art (Brooklyn, USA), Museum of Contemporary Art (Taiwan). Her work is held in various collections across the world. Chocka lives and works in Melton, Victoria, Australia.

An interview with Topher Field on COVID-19, Daniel Andrews and why frogs are more important than farmers.
Back in March, Topher Field publicly announced that he was willing to be infected with COVID-19. Does he still feel the same way? Topher is a political commentator, content creator and a ferocious libertarian.
Follow Topher here: https://www.facebook.com/TopherField/
“One of the greatest causes of misery in the last 100 years, and one of the strongest forces resisting this progress on which our future depends, is government. Government’s are constantly regulating to restrict progress, reduce innovation, and hurt productivity and quality of life, and at their worst, governments around the world have been responsible for over 100,000,000 deaths in the last 100 years, and that’s only counting when governments kill their own citizens, it doesn’t include wars between governments! It’s counting genocides, deliberate or negligent starvation, concentration camps, and mass executions. These deaths have been primarily in Communist countries, but democracies have also fallen into tyranny in the last 100 years, and will continue to do so in future from time to time.”
“So in short, I’m optimistic about the future if we can stop overmighty governments and busy-body bureaucrats from stuffing it up for the rest of us.”
