Information:
Dispatch Review aims to pin down ideas and stir up conversations about art. We publish precise, concise art criticism, opinion pieces, interviews and audio. Dispatches are dispensed spontaneously and intended to be read in one sitting.
Dispatch Review is published on the lands of the Whadjuk people in Boorloo (Perth), WA. Dispatch Review respectfully acknowledges the Whadjuk people as the traditional owners and custodians of the lands upon which we live, work and enjoy. We recognise the First Peoples’ continuous connection to culture, community and boodja (country) and pay our respects to their boordier (elders) past and present. Dispatch Review respects and appreciates the kaartdijin (knowledge) and creation practices that have survived in this place over 60,000 years through oral, visual and written means.
Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.
