The biggest, and most valuable, experience was living in a space where my Aboriginality wasn't politicised or capable of being weaponised. This was both liberating, but also unsettling and took some getting used to. One of the first vivid experiences that had an impact on me was filling out my GP registration form in college in my firs week: there wasn't an 'Aboriginal' box so I had to sit and list a number of the conditions prevalent in my family. It was an interesting experience having to translate meanings that are otherwise bundled and expressed back home in political/medical shorthand. |
