Girramay, Kuku Yalanji and Yidinji artist Tony Albert has been collecting 'Aboriginalia' for close to 40 years. 

They're kitsch souvenirs, popular in the 20th century, which depict racist caricatures of Aboriginal people, including items like ashtrays, children's dolls and prints. 

He uses the objects in his art to challenge colonialism and is now inviting Australians to donate any similar items they may have to him and get them out of retail circulation. 

"These objects are important artefacts of a different time. It sparks a conversation which is much needed, we can have these conversations together and move forward together in a sensitive and powerful way," Mr Albert said.

“I do think, being queer and disabled, I kind of have a lot of understanding of how tough the world can be, but also how nice it can be with community and with people who really love and support you.”

Burlesque has given 'Diana Divine' something many disabled people are rarely offered — a space to be sexy, commanding and completely herself.

Cannon by Australian cartoonist Lee Lai (@_leelai) has won the 2026 Stella Prize, a literary award for women and nonbinary authors worth $60,000.

It’s the first time a graphic novel has won the prize in its 14-year history.

Lai says she’s “shocked” that a major literary prize has gone to a graphic novel, a relatively under-recognised form in Australia, and hopes the prize is viewed as “a win for the Australian comics community”, which has supported her throughout her career.
