Indigenous Art from the NGV Collection
Indigenous art exists as part of a continuum where old meets new, where materialities clash, and perspectives collide. Since long before the invention of the written word, First Nations people have passed down important cultural knowledge through a combination of art, song, dance and story. The works here offer a series of visual dialogues, in order to explore how parallel innovations and continuities can continue to inspire new ways of thinking about art.
