Includes new AGSA Education book launch
Just as non-Aboriginal Australian art or European art has changed a lot over the last 400 years and continues to change, you can expect that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art has changed a lot over 55,000 years and is continually evolving. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists are maintaining traditions while innovating every day. Some people are familiar with the Western Desert art movement, sometimes known as “dot painting”. However, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are diverse, and so is their art practice, like artists anywhere.
Join Nici Cumpston, Curator of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art and Dr. Lisa Slade, Assistant Director, Artistic Programs as they showcase the diversity of works of art by First Nations artists.
General public are welcome to attend.
