At the fifth edition of the Kochi-Muziris Biennale, in the middle courtyard of the Aspinwall House, a tent, 'Embassy', welcomes the visitors. It has been put up by Richard Bell, the Australian aboriginal artist, as a tribute to an Aboriginal tent named Embassy, which was first set up in 1972 in Canberra to denounce the then government’s denial of Aboriginal land rights in Australia. Inside the hall, magnificently coloured canvases have been put up with slogans written in bold, black and white letters on a red background. The slogans read ‘DON’T EAT CAKE, EAT THE RICH’ and “White Privilege is Affirmative Action for White People.”
