Celebrate NAIDOC Week at UNSW Galleries by joining us for a spotlight tour of our current exhibitions: 'barangga: First Nations Design' and 'James Tylor: Turrangka...in the shadows'.
barangga: First Nations Design
'barangga' celebrates design and making practices as a vital form of cultural knowledge in First Nations Communities across Australia. The project brings together new and recent work from Debra Beale, Sharyn Egan, Nicole Monks, Luke Russell, Leanne Tobin, and the Yamaji Women's Collective. The exhibition unites designers with an ongoing commitment to revitalising cultural practices, preserving material culture, and continuing connections to Country.
James Tylor: Turrangka...in the shadows
‘Turrangka… In the shadows’ is a survey exhibition bringing together ten years of practice from leading Australian artist James Tylor. It presents the most comprehensive selection of his unique daguerreotypes, expansive digital photographic series, hand-made cultural objects, and furniture. Together the works examine histories of colonisation and their impact on Indigenous cultures through experimental and historical photographic processes, and the remaking of Kaurna cultural design.
UNSW Galleries is located at the Cnr Oxford St & Greens Rd, Paddington NSW 2021
