Congratulations to Margaret Rarru Garrawurra for winning the 2022 Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards (NATSIAA). Her award-winning work powerfully references her cultural identity and the long-lasting relationships between Yolŋu people and the people of Indonesia—and it’s exhibiting in Darwin alongside other NATSIAA winners and finalists.
When iconic conceptual artist Sol LeWitt visited Australia in 1977 and 1998, he found an affinity with Indigenous art. Now, for the first time in 45 years, LeWitt’s work will return to the Art Gallery of New South Wales, alongside new musical collaborations and First Nations art—all for the next Kaldor Public Art Project.
In 1966 in the Northern Territory, 200 Gurindji workers pushed forward the land rights movement in Australia. Known as the Wave Hill Walk-Off, the strike protested Aboriginal land dispossession and worker exploitation. Now, Still in My Mind at Hervey Bay Regional Gallery and Gatakers Artspace examines this significant moment.
