Event Details

For almost 40 years, government bodies dealing with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander affairs built significant art collections, including works by world-renowned artists Rover Thomas, Narritjin Maymuru and Fiona Foley. This exhibition takes you into the world of indigenous art, and the politics and history of a time of great change.
