Curator Hetti Perkins has refreshed and revitalised the age-old meaning of ‘ceremony’.
An Arrernte and Kalkadoon woman, Perkins has collaborated with National Gallery of Australia (NGA) curators to deliver the fourth National Indigenous Art Triennial, titled Ceremony. She describes: ‘Ceremony is not a new idea in the context of our unique heritage, but neither is it something that belongs only in the past.’
