Elaine Kitchener was born in Florida, USA, and moved to Australia in 1971. She trained at the Australian Centre for Photography in Paddington, NSW, and through associations with Ande Evans-Maddox, writer and film-maker, and Bobbi Sykes, editor of AIM and Koori Bina, Kitchener became involved with the Aboriginal community and fostered a desire to record key moments in the demonstration of Aboriginal culture and politics. She has worked closely with various government funded Aboriginal organisations as well as individuals, such as MumShirl and Charles Perkins, widely regarded as community leaders

Photographs of Aboriginal dance, some are street performances. Includes photograph of Bobbi Sykes

A large proportion of these images document early tours of Aboriginal/ Islander Dance Theatre (AIDT) [now known as NAISDA Dance College]. Other images represent a significant record of urban Aboriginal life in Sydney in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Includes many portraits of well known individuals in the Aboriginal community (such as MumShirl and Bobbi Sykes), as well as performances, community events, protests and street scenes
