About
The exhibition brings together a selection of artists from the remote, dry, central lands of Australia to the northern coastal area of Arnhem Land. The Central desert and northern coastal life present very different challenges for indigenous people. Survival in these harsh environments, where landscape, flora and fauna, food sources and ceremony may vary considerably from place to place, does not diminish the connectedness to nature and “country”. This subject is the focus for painting and carving across Indigenous Australia. The art derives from the traditional way of life - a society of unbroken Indigenous Australian culture, believed to date back at least 60,000 years.
