Animal lovers are in luck as galleries across Melbourne and NSW welcome a series of exhibitions featuring animals – from cats and dogs to dingoes and panthers.
Currently showing at the Koorie Heritage Trust (KHT) at Melbourne’s Federation Square is Spirit of the Animals, which invites mammals, fish, birds, reptiles and even insects into the gallery. The exhibition features nearly 50 works by First Nations artists from south-east Australia, utilising a range of mediums from painting to adornment to showcase the diverse and fascinating animal motifs of First Peoples.
