An exhibition featuring the intergenerational nature of First Nations art from Central Australia, the Kimberley, Queensland and Arnhem Land. The exhibition is presented in homage to the 50th anniversary of NAIDOC week and its 2025 theme – The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy.
Highlighted is the significance of heritage in family groupings and the inherited rights of image making in works by senior and well-established artists, mid-career artists and emerging talents.
The works demonstrate the strong links between paintings by famous established artists and those of their younger relatives in the work of East Kimberley ochre painters; Northeast Arnhem Land barks; acrylics from the Papunya school of Western Desert art; the Utopia school of the Eastern Desert; Pitjantjatjara artists from Australia’s longest running art centre Ernabella Arts, S.A and Artists of Ampilatwatja in Central Australia.
Curated by Susan McCulloch OAM and Emily McCulloch Childs
