Overview
Art + Soul is an exhibition with a voice. Coinciding with a soon to be aired 3-part documentary series on the ABC that explores indigenous Australian art and culture, this showcase of over 100 works and objects is more than just paintings on a wall.
Both the exhibition and documentary use three major themes 'home and away', 'dreams and nightmares' and 'bitter sweet' to explore the rich and diverse cultural heritage of Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islanders, with contemporary artistic expression. Featuring 40 artists including Destiny Deacon, Richard Bell, Mervyn Bishop, Tommy McRae, Ricky Maynard, Ginger Riley Munduwalawala, Judy Watson, Brenda L Croft, Emily Kam Ngwarray, John Mawurndjul, Naata Nungurrayi and Rusty Peters, Art + Soul aims to honour the past with a keen eye on the future. In the words of Hettie Perkins: "my father once said 'we know we cannot live in the past, but the past lives in us'".
