Echoes of the Earth: Tribal and Desert Art

Developed through collaboration between partners in Australia and India, Echoes of the Earth brings together Australian First Nations and Indian tribal artists whose practices bridge continents and traditions. The exhibition celebrates contemporary art grounded in ancestral knowledge, exploring the resonances between cultures shaped by land, spirit, and storytelling. Through painting these artists illuminate resonate cosmologies and living traditions that trace back to the ancient supercontinent of Gondwana. Echoes of the Earth invites audiences to reflect on the enduring creativity that flows through Country and community across time and place.
