MAREE CLARKE & KENT MORRIS | WURRDHA MARRA EXHIBITION AT NGV AUSTRALIA

NGV Australia’s Wurrdha Marra exhibition opens Thursday 12.1O.2O23.  The exhibition supports the NGV Australia’s purpose of sharing the work of First Nations artists, from emerging to senior figures, and across time and place.

For First Nations peoples around the world, art and design are part of a continuum where the past intersects with the present, different materials converge, and diverse perspectives come together.

The central role of art in passing down important cultural knowledge is celebrated in this display through the diverse approaches that artists take to maintaining and regenerating customary cultural practices and iconography while also creating new forms of expression.
