The exhibition will celebrate and display the work of eight elderly solo artists whose paintings changed the cultural knowledge and perspective of our country, including the acclaimed Emily Kame Kngwarreye (or Emily Kam Ngwarray) whose works often included depictions of the yam plant, a ‘bush tucker’ plant fundamental to the Indigenous diet, and was considered a “visual music of mass appeal” due to her movement away from traditional dot infilling and circling style of Indigenous artwork.
Other artists will include Indigenous artists from the Western Deserts and Queensland, including Pulpurru Davies, painter Lorna Napurrurla Fencer, Alkawari Dawson and Wakartu Cory Surprise.
