Works
In the 1980s, Hinton-Bateup produced posters with very specific political messages. Some remain in the archive of art posters.[5]
In 1986, she produced Dispossessed, that included text and focuses on the forced relocation of Aboriginal people and their loss of connection to Country.[6]
That same year, she printed Peace, with images of three people above whom was a text that concludes there could be no peace without recognition of Aboriginal connection to the land.[7]
In 1988, Hinton-Bateup participated in an Aboriginal parenting seminar sponsored by a regional public tenants council as a community art project. As a result, she produced a poster at Garage Graphix about Ruth Whitbourne, another Aboriginal woman.[4]
