Raiki Wara
Long Cloth from Aboriginal Australia and the Torres Strait
NGV International
Level 2
4 Sep – 19 Oct 98
This important exhibition celebrates the use of an introduced medium, which has encouraged a daring break with tradition in contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art. In focussing on painted and printed textiles and on the last three decades, Raiki Wara draws attention to the contribution of indigenous artists throughout Australia who have made this new medium their own.
