Delivery fee: Select location
Aboriginal art in southeast Australia is dynamic, innovative and powerful. The diverse artworks featured in this book celebrate contemporary artists and their continuation of Ancestral knowledge. With each chapter the result of an intercultural collaboration, this volume speaks to globally resonant themes in First Nations art, storytelling, and sovereignty. Each contribution prioritises learning with and about First Nations artists to support traditional knowledge systems.
A guiding theme is the creative practice of internationally renowned artist Maree Clarke (Mutti Mutti/Wamba Wamba/Yorta Yorta/Boonwurrung), who is both an editor and co-author and an inspiration.Bringing together thoughtful analysis and lush illustrations, ngargee, meaning coming together in Boonwurrung language, gives southeast Australian Aboriginal art the long overdue attention that it richly deserves. ngargee will be a welcome addition for anyone who wants to learn more about southeast Australia, the richness of its art practices, and the continuity and innovation of First Nations knowledge-transmission and culture-making across time and place.
