Cover Text

Ever Present: First Peoples Art of Australia surveys historical and contemporary works by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists from across Australia. Drawn from the collections of the National Gallery of Australia and the Wesfarmers Collection of Australian Art, the works in this touring exhibition bridges time and place and are interconnected through story and experience. Ever Present includes the work of more than eighty artists as it considers seven overarching and interlinked themes: Ancestors + Creators; Country + Constellations; Community + Family; Culture + Ceremony; Trade + Influence; Resistance + Colonisation; and Innovation + Identity. Together the works underline the ever-present existence of the First Peoples of Australia. Ever Present: First Peoples Art of Australia is a National Gallery Touring Exhibition in partnership with Wesfarmers Arts. This exhibition publication was produced to accompany the Ever Present: First Peoples Art of Australia exhibition at the Art Gallery of Western Australia.
