Birrundudu Drawings
In 1945, over a three-month period, sixteen Aboriginal men at Birrundudu Station created 810 crayon drawings depicting their extensive knowledge of Country, Ceremony and Ancestral narratives. Apart from a handful of drawings, most have never been seen. After four years of collaborative community research, this exhibition showcases more than 100 of these drawings and marks the 50th anniversary of the Berndt Museum.
Gracie Greene – It's Time!
The Cruthers Collection of Women’s Art will present a major solo exhibition of Gracie Greene, celebrating a prodigious lifetime of cultural and artistic contribution.
