NAOMI HOBSON’S ADOLESCENT WONDERLAND SERIES ON DISPLAY IN LONDON

The extended Adolescent Wonderland photographic series by gallery represented artist Naomi Hobson is now exhibiting at the Horniman Museum and Gardens in London, where it will be on display for a year.  While Hobson’s photography, painting and ceramics have been exhibited widely across Australia, this is Hobson’s first international exhibition.

Adolescent Wonderland celebrates the energy, love and humour of First Nations young people living in Coen, Cape York Peninsula, Queensland, Australia.  Vibrant full-coloured portraits highlight the young people’s individuality and self-expression against black and white backgrounds, speaking to the importance of preserving their culture and history.
