SAT 9 NOV - SUN 19 JAN 2025 | Burrinja Gallery
Burrinja is delighted to present this exhibition in the Burrinja Gallery: Three Echoes – Western Desert Art, a celebration of art and storytelling.
Curated by celebrated writer, artist and activist, Djon Mundine OAM FAHA, Three Echoes – Western Desert Art showcases works by 57 acclaimed artists heralding from Ikuntji (Haasts Bluff), Papunya and Utopia Aboriginal communities in the western desert regions of the Northern Territory. The exhibition of paintings, prints and batiks communicates important stories of tjukurrpa (Dreaming) and Country, and explores the poetic notion of echoes.
Three Echoes – Western Desert Art is an initiative of Museums & Galleries Queensland developed in partnership with Karin Schack and Andrew Arnott. The Australian Government has assisted this project through its Visions of Australia program, the Australia Council, and its arts funding and advisory body. It is supported by the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland. Museums & Galleries Queensland is supported by the Tim Fairfax Family Foundation and receives funds from Creative Australia through the Australian Cultural Fund.
