Cultural Conversations: Presented as part of IOTA24
Cultural Conversations reflects upon aspects of cultural communication presented within the intimacy of a gallery exhibition space which are highlighted by the interactions of artwork created by artists of different language groups and backgrounds. The stylistic diversity produced by Brian Robinson, Tyrown Waigana, Lorraine Connelly Northey and the artists from Waringarri Aboriginal Arts encourages exploration of the perpetual cultural presence of Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, how this has been both preserved and yet morphed over time. Subtle cues within the works, supported by the artists’ conversations and statements, create a language developing sensitive connectivity towards empathetic understanding of the resilience and survival of these diverse cultures.
