This April, we shine the spotlight on First Nations artists, and create space for stories that speak to Country, connection and culture.
Explore the present through the past as Thea Anamara Perkins (Arrernte/Kalkadoon peoples) invites us to share in the stories behind her new work, Still I Rise. Celebrate a poetic portfolio of intimate family portraits, drawn from her history and memories to create an 'everywhen'. Emerging from a dynasty of Aboriginal activists, Thea’s portraits embrace the private lives of public figures, help unsettle the Western narratives that have framed First Nations peoples, and offer intergenerational insight into legacy and connection.
