Transcript

00:00This is the fifth iteration of the National Indigenous Art Triennial.

00:06The exhibition is called After the Rain and explores the themes of rebirth and renewal.

00:12The show features 10 diverse and immersive projects by First Nations artists from across

00:18Australia.

00:19What does After the Rain mean after the referendum, where a majority of Australians voted no in

00:26the inclusion of Indigenous people in the constitution?

00:28So it offered, I think, a really broad curatorial opportunity for artists to respond to, but

00:34very much based on planting new seeds.

00:39Some of the artists featured are established names, like acclaimed portrait painter Vincent

00:43Namajira.

00:44The Namajira Room pays tribute to the pioneering work of his great-grandfather Albert Namajira.

00:50It's like me standing at home with my family, with the paintings, with the works.

00:56It's like standing on country, bringing the country to the big smoke.

01:00The exhibition also spotlights the work of emerging First Nations artists.

01:05Dylan Mooney's large-scale banners celebrate queer black love.

01:09It feels very special and empowering to be shown with such amazing First Nations artists,

01:17people that I've looked up to.

01:20After its time on display in Canberra, the exhibition will tour nationally for three years,

01:26giving more Australians a taste of the rich diversity of contemporary First Nations art.
