By Digging Deeper into the lives of four unique and diverse Indigenous artists from Australia, we discover that they have common motivating themes, their art, their Aboriginality and their dual heritage.
How do you talk about these things that have happened to you and from your history? Are you angry? Can you stir passion and emotion? Can you engage in a deeper, more fundamental way and focus more on the regeneration of cultural practices?
These artists are now in the midst of creating works for major exhibitions, and prestigious prizes that offer powerful ways to tell their stories. They are seriously breaking ground.
Features Maree Clarke (Yorta Yorta/Wamba Wamba/Mutti Mutti/Boonwurrung), Blak Douglas (Dhungatti Aboriginal), Penny Evans (Gomilaroi ), and Ben McKeown (Wirringu language group).
