Starting today (12 October), visitors to The Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia will be able to experience the new ground floor First Nations exhibition space. Named Wurrdha Marra, meaning ‘Many Mobs’, by the Wurundjeri Council, the space will be home to an ever-changing display of First Nations works spanning painting, design, photography, weaving and more.
Drawn from the NGV’s First Nations art and design collection, Wurrdha Marra brings a fresh outlook to works by iconic artists, as well as present unexpected inclusions. Each piece is a symbol of the vast breadth of practice upheld by First Nations creative practitioners, while underscoring how every artist imbues something of themselves even into traditional techniques.
