First held in 1990 at Araluen Arts Centre in Alice Springs, Desert Mob is the oldest of Australia’s thriving annual program of Aboriginal art fairs. With its 30th anniversary coming up in September 2020, Kate Hennessy looks back on Desert Mob 2019.
In Biraddali Dancing on the Horizon, now showing at Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts (PICA), Australian-Filipina artist Bhenji Ra explores pangalay—a dance form indigenous to the Tausug and Bajau peoples from the Sulu Archipelago and Sabah in the Philippines.
Shaped by the movement between histories and cultures, the work of Thai-born, Aotearoa-raised artist Sorawit Songsataya draws on mystery and plurality as a means of knowing the world. The artist is now showing at Australian Centre for Contemporary Art and Monash University Museum of Art.
Featuring work by Arrernte and Southern Luritja artist Sally M Nangala Mulda and Arrernte and Western Arrarnta artist Marlene Rubuntja, Two Girls From Amoonguna is an ACMI touring exhibition now showing at Araluen Arts Centre.
A touring exhibition based on a publication of the same title, Bulaan Buruugaa Ngali celebrates Bundjalung artists revitalising the practice of basket weaving, as well as the Bundjalung language—two forms of knowledge that are deeply connected. The exhibition is now showing at Tweed Regional Gallery & Margaret Olley Art Centre.
The paintings of Ethel Carrick—whose legacy is being celebrated via a new exhibition at the National Gallery of Australia—offer distinctive and poignant lessons in seeing the world.
