Dotted Dialogues: Contemporary Indigenous Art from Central Australia
You're invited to the OPENING RECEPTION THURSDAY, September 3, 4:30 to 7pm.
This exhibition presents paintings and sculptures that incorporate traditional iconography of the Aboriginal culture and reveal ancestral stories that reconnect indigenous communities with their ancestors, their land, and their heritage, while also sharing it with others. It was curated by the students in the Spring 2015 Anthropological Perspectives in Art class under the direction of Professor Françoise Dussart.
