Alliance Française de Melbourne and The Torch present ‘Dhumbadha Munga (Talking Knowledge)’, an exhibition that looks at the two-way relationship between arts workers and the artists they support.
The Torch focuses on the role of culture and cultural identity in the rehabilitative process of Indigenous prisoners. Through dhumbadha munga they learn, develop and reinforce their cultural identity and express and share their stories through art. As it has done so for generations, Indigenous culture remains alive through talking and sharing knowledge.
Artists include: Kelly Blackwell, Jeffrey Jackson, Robby Knight, Shane Lovett, Paul McCann, Kent Morris, Garry Scott, Steve Verde, Peter Waples Crowe and Raymond Young.
