Art Gallery of New South Wales

Saturday 28 August 2010 to Monday 13 June 2011
Exhibition previously on at Art Gallery of New South Wales in New South Wales, Australia
art + soul explores the diversity of Indigenous culture through three themes: ‘home and away’, ‘dreams and nightmares’ and ‘bitter and sweet’.

Drawing on key works from the Gallery’s collection, it reveals the myriad contemporary artistic expressions that evidence the enduring heritage of Indigenous Australia, in all its diversity and complexity.

This exhibition highlights the artists and art featured in the groundbreaking three-part documentary series art + soul on ABC Television from 7 October 2010.
