INSTACULTURE
Art that highlights the six seasons of the Aboriginal culture, and the stories passed down from the oldest continuing civilisation on earth, will be on display in INSTACULTURE, the new exhibition showing at OPEN at Darling Quarter.
Using 16 images from his stunning digital photographic work, Aboriginal artist A.Professor Wayne Quilliam educates the audience about some of the first words spoken on this continent, tying in with the NAIDOC Week 2019 theme of Voice. Treaty. Truth.
