ngargee: coming together to celebrate (Southeast Australian Aboriginal Art) celebrates the dynamic, innovative and powerful nature of Aboriginal art practice in southeast Australia.  ngargee means coming together to celebrate in Boonwurrung language, where celebrations are accompanied and demonstrated through the act of making art.

The diverse artworks in this publication celebrate contemporary Aboriginal artists and their continuation of Ancestral knowledge. The artworks shown are accompanied by commentary and analysis unpacking complex issues related to First Nations art-making and culture-making.

A guiding theme is the creative practice of Maree Clarke (Mutti Mutti/ Wamba Wamba/ Yorta Yorta/ Boonwurrung).  Maree’s talent for collaborations and passion for reclaiming and reviving arts practices over almost forty years has seen her recognised as a leading southeast Australian artist, with invitations to work in France, Italy, Japan, Cuba, UK, Canada and the USA.
