Works from Maningrida and surrounding homelands. Curated by Derek Carter and Alison Cooper. Derek Carter and Alison Cooper, arts workers and cultural liaison officers at Maningrida Arts, have researched the holding of Maningrida and surrounding homelands in the Artbank Collection. They have brought together an exhibition that highlights the most important and culturally significant works in collection. Representing, painting, fibre art and lorrokon, the exhibition draws together various family lines and accounts for the richness of culture at Maningrida. Held in conjunction with the National Indigenous Art Fair, it is an opportunity for Carter and Cooper to share Maningrida Art with other Indigenous communities and the Sydney audience at large. The exhibition also provided invaluable insights around the work in the Artbank Collection and particularly shone new light on some of our early collecting from Maningrida. Featured Artists will include: Samson Bonson, England Banggala, Elyssa Cameron, Jack Kala Kala, Aileena Lamanga, Jack Nawilil, Irenie Ngalinba Jimmy Njiminjuma.
