"All these dots are making me dizzy: An Indigenous Perspective on the Australian Western Desert Dot Painting Movement" Lecture
Grey Art Gallery
This event has ended.
Franchesca Cubillo (Larrakia), Senior Curator of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art, National Gallery of Australia, Canberra, will give an Indigenous perspective on the acrylic painting movement. While it has gained great public visibility and critical success, it is also sometimes characterized in a trivializing way as “dot painting.” She will discuss the movement’s significant impact on, and import for, Indigenous Australians.
