Alice Hinton-Bateup (born 1950) is an Australian artist and print-maker. In the 1980s she was active in Garage Graphix Community Art Group,[1] a print workshop in Mt. Druitt, Sydney, which included a number of Aboriginal artists. They produced posters that became important in the struggle for Aboriginal rights in Australia.[2]
Early life and education
Hinton-Bateup was born in 1950 in South Sydney Women's Hospital and identifies as an Aboriginal woman of the Kamilaroi and Wonnarua peoples.[3][4]
She trained in silk and fabric screen printing at Garage Graphix and in 1983 began working for them.[1]
Hinton-Bateup participated in four print exhibitions in the 1980s[1] and in 2020 was included in the exhibition Know My Name at the National Gallery of Australia, an exhibition focused on female Australian Artists.[1]
Works
In the 1980s, Hinton-Bateup produced posters with very specific political messages. Some remain in the archive of art posters.[5]
In 1986, she produced Dispossessed, that included text and focuses on the forced relocation of Aboriginal people and their loss of connection to Country.[6]
That same year, she printed Peace, with images of three people above whom was a text that concludes there could be no peace without recognition of Aboriginal connection to the land.[7]
In 1988, Hinton-Bateup participated in an Aboriginal parenting seminar sponsored by a regional public tenants council as a community art project. As a result, she produced a poster at Garage Graphix about Ruth Whitbourne, another Aboriginal woman.[4]
