Indigenous artists pushing for progress in Australia

Since the recent ground swell of support for the Black Lives Matter movement in the US, there have been many artists and creatives in the Australian context, who have been advancing the work of the movement here, and lobbying for better life outcomes for aboriginal people, particularly the incarceration rates for aboriginal people.
Focusing particularly on our indigenous artists, who have been working to further the #BlackLivesMatter movement, here is a short list of artists who are passionate to see change and justice for Aboriginal people in Australia.
