"Landscapes of Longing: Place and Image in the Early Papunya Boards" Lecture
Grey Art Gallery
This event has ended.
The jewel-like works in Icons of the Desert refer to times and places far removed from the government reservation of Papunya where they were painted. In this lecture, Roger Benjamin, guest curator of the exhibition and Research Professor in Art History, University of Sydney, explores how art history can grasp the role of memory, song, and design in their creation.
