Desert River Sea..



In the city earlier in the week to visit Art Gallery WA. There were two new exhibitions I especially wanted to see, the first being Desert River Sea. An installation 'celebrating the conclusion of a six year arts research and development project between Art Gallery WA and Aboriginal artists and art centres in the Kimberley'. The video enacts a 'Wirnan' ceremony.. 'the coming together of four tribes, symbolised by the quadrants of coloured stone. Here families and community gather around a fire to share stories and pass on cultural knowledge'. The wall of artifacts features 'objects traditionally given as gifts of exchange'. A fascinating and slightly mesmerizing event. There is much more to this exhibition, will show more tomorrow. Happy Friday, take care and stay safe..

    Wall projections can be very effective in telling stories.
