‘The world is not a foreign land’ brings together work by Timothy Cook, Djambawa Marawili, Ngarra, Rusty Peters, Freda Warlapinni and Nyapanyapa Yunupingu.
Crossing three geographically and culturally distinct regions – Tiwi Islands, the Kimberley, and North-eastern Arnhem Land – each artist presents strikingly different perspectives on what constitutes Indigenous contemporary art. However, seen together, their work also reveals a series of productive and meaningful relationships; a network of connections that ask audiences to reconsider how certain objects and, by extension, certain practices, might relate beyond the confines of existing categories.
