Indigenous Art, Culture & Design Week 4

Art+Soul

Episode 2 'Dreams and Nightmares"

In this week's episode we learnt about the work of Rover Thomas. We learnt about the weavings of Yvonne Koolmatrie, who manages to weave the past into her sculptural forms in a completely contemporary context, and perhaps one of my favourt Indigenous artists Emily Kamngwarray, whose landscapes of her 'country', Utopia indicated her deep connection to culture and attracted unprecedented fame.

There was so much insightful and interesting information presented to us in this episode that I encourage everyone to go and view clips of the episode  online at the Art+Soul website.
