VIVID MEMORIES, AN ABORIGINAL ART HISTORY

This exhibition is presented as an introduction to Australian aboriginal art history in relation to the old and the modern. The exhibit compares traditional artefacts and contemporary works to try to understand further the changes of this traditional art dating back over 40,000 years and causing many contemporary movements in Australia.
