Red Heart of Australia
Sun 26 March - Sun 30 April
Red Heart of Australia is an exhibition showcasing eight paintings of national importance created by Aboriginal artists from across Central Australia united by the colour red.
These precious works from the National Museum of Australia’s collection show how the colour red expresses relationships to Country, family, ritual and spirituality. It’s the colour of the desert, the giant rock Uluru in central Australia, and the colour of a blazing sunset over the water.
The exhibition was presented as part of a cultural exchange program by the National Museum of Australia with the National Art Museum of China (NAMOC), Beijing in 2021.
