Works by 20 leading Australian Aboriginal artists feature in JGM Gallery’s latest exhibition, TRAVELLING THROUGH COUNTRY, which takes us on a journey from the rugged rock formations of the Kimberley region, across the dry Central Desert region, and on to the tropical Arnhem Land.
About
TRAVELLING THROUGH COUNTRY is inspired by the travels across country that the Aboriginal peoples of Australia have been making for tens of thousands of years, guided by the stars and sacred landmarks.
Among the 20 leading artists whose works are featured in the exhibition are five Warmun artists – part of a natural ochre painting movement from the Kimberley, a plateau region in northern Western Australia. Warmun, in Gija Country, was settled by people from different countries displaced by the stock farming in the area after Aboriginal workers were given equal wages in the late 1960s.
