Enjoy the exhibition Body Language followed by a fun workshop where participants can make figurative sculptures using a range of materials. Workshops are $10 per child and class numbers are limited to 8 participants.
As a direct response to the United Nation’s International Year of Indigenous Languages, the National Gallery of Australia is touring Body Language, which explores the identity of Australia’s diverse Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and communities.
‘For many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island people, identity is a source of strength and resilience and there are many ways in which they identify: what they believe in, how they look, how they feel and how they see themselves in society.’ Kelli Cole, Curator
An exhibition for all the family, Body language explores the iconography of language as expressed through symbols and patterns and includes works that explore these themes.
Curator: Kelli Cole
