Ever Present: First Peoples Art Of Australia

Following a national and international tour, Ever Present, First Peoples Art of Australia returns to Kamberri/Canberra for its final showing at the National Gallery. A survey of historical and contemporary works of art by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists from across Australia, this exhibition draws from the national collection and Wesfarmers Collection of Australian Art.

Although Ever Present is a celebration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art, it does not shy away from Australia’s complex histories. The works challenge stereotypes about First Nations people and what defines their art. Together the works underline the ever-present existence of our First Peoples.

Ever Present, First Peoples Art of Australia is presented by the National Gallery of Australia and Wesfarmers Arts.

Free with ticket.
