As part of the "Le Havre, Australian stopover" event, the city of Le Havre is hosting an exceptional exhibition exploring contemporary Aboriginal painting.
Celebrating the richness and vibrancy of contemporary Aboriginal painting, the exhibition brings together works from Aboriginal communities spread across the continent, from South Australia to Arnhem Land, via the Red Centre, the western deserts and the Kimberley.
Curated by IDAIA in close collaboration with artists, their cooperatives and Aboriginal exhibition curators Tess Allas and Daniel Browning, the exhibition invites the public to explore cultural, political and economic issues for artists, and to acquire works that are part of an approach to support the ethical and sustainable sector of Aboriginal art.
The exhibition is hosted in an exceptional way by the Municipal Archives of the City of Le Havre, located in the Fort de Tourneville, a former military fort transformed into a space dedicated to contemporary creation.
