International Sculpture Day 2024: First Nations Sculptures
Celebrating International Sculpture Day, April 27 with an exhibition of First Nations' sculptures and weavings in natural materials
Indigenous artists from Australia take the world's centre stage at the Venice Biennale
With the Golden Lion Award for Best National Participation being awarded to Kamilaroi Bigambu artist Archie Moore for his installation exhibition in the Australia Pavilion and the curation of Naminapu Maymaru-White from Buku-Larrnggay Mulka's work in natural materials in the Arsenale exhibition, it is especially timely to celebrate sculptural art by Indigenous artists.
The exhibition features fibre spirit poles by award-winning artist Jack Nawilil; Mimih figures by Samson Bonson; small carved owls by Djul'djul Gurruwiwi; a selection of larrakitj ceremonial poles from East Arnhem Land; woven fibre mats from central Arnhem Land and tjanpi (grass) baskets and sculptures from Central Australia.
Exhibiting art centres: Bula'bula Arts, Buku Larrnggay-Mulka; Maningrida Arts; Tjanpi Desert Weavers (previous Venice Biennale exhibitors).
CURATORS' FLOOR TALK SATURDAY APRIL 27
Join us on Saturday April 27 for a floor talk by Everywhen Art curators Susan McCulloch and Emily McCulloch Childs to explore the works in the exhibition, the cultural traditions that are their inspiration, and the rise to prominence of these artists in major exhibitions across Australia and the world.
2 pm arrival time for talk to commence at 2.30 pm
