Human? : a lie that has been killing us since 1788
Ramo, Ziggy2024
Book
So-called Australia is built upon a lie- that 97% of the population are human, and the others simply 'Indigenous', devoid of the same basic rights. Human? is the story of Ziggy Ramo's experience growing up under the weight of this lie. We've had 235 years of continued destruction in the name of 'civilised progress', under an oppressive colonial system that punches down on almost everyone. We all deserve more. But to move forward we have to be honest about the past. Written on the precipice of becoming a parent, Human? is Ziggy Ramo's offering for the future an attempt to bridge a nation-wide knowledge gap, and start a new conversation. Prerequisite reading for anyone searching for a way forward, together. Human? is a book, an album and an exhibition by one of the most exciting voices of this generation. With his powerful debut, Ziggy asks- Would you still fight for human rights if it meant giving up your privilege? A groundbreaking, provocative call-to-arms by acclaimed Wik artist Ziggy Ramo, Human? invites readers to confront this nation's biggest lie.
