To Aboriginal people of Australia their stories, art and country are inseparable. Bound to a rich and diverse culture, the practice of art expresses the beliefs of the past and the present, the law and their relationship to the spirit world. Neil McLeod - Curator – Burrinja Gallery
Like other indigenous artists, the work in the Burrinja exhibition
is rich and diverse and reflects cultural beliefs, values and ideas. The
works speak of connections to country, culture, ceremony and community…
