NGA Play: Reko Rennie
14 May – 3 Dec 2017
About
Enter an immersive space created in collaboration with contemporary Kamilaroi/Gamilaraay/Gummaroi artist Reko Rennie. The NGA has been working with Rennie to create an innovative, exciting, interactive and educational experience for NGA Play.
Surrounded by graphic landscapes of camouflage and traditional Kamilaroi patterns, this engaging environment encourages people of all ages, including parents, carers, children and young adults, to immerse themselves in activities that will challenge their understanding of Australian Indigenous art, culture and identity.
Rennie's work is vibrant, fun and full of life. It captures a strong sense of urban Indigenous identity, which is highly relevant today for all Australians, particularly as this year is the 50th anniversary of the 1967 Referendum.
The ‘Rennie-vated’ NGA Play is free for all the family and provides you with a safe and inviting environment in which to explore Indigenous culture, history and identity with your children through creative making, physical activity and discovery.
NGA Play is possible through the generous support of Tim Fairfax in honour of Betty Churcher.
