Emily Kam Kngwarray
This Summer, one of Australia’s most significant First Nations artists will take centre stage in a major retrospective at the National Gallery.
Emily Kam Kngwarray opens on 2 December 2023, and will feature many of the artist’s most outstanding works from throughout her career.
Curators Kelli Cole, Warumunga/Luritja peoples and Hetti Perkins, Arrernte/Kalkadoon peoples have worked alongside family and community members on Anmatyerr and Alywarr Country, also known as Utopia, to research Kngwarray’s life and present an exhibition grounded in deep cultural understanding of the artist’s practice.
With your help, we will be able to enhance the impact of Emily Kam Kngwarray’s work by:
- Developing dynamic learning and public engagement programs
- Producing a comprehensive exhibition publication
- Commission a documentary film produced by Tamarind Tree Pictures
Make your tax-deductible contribution today and help us elevate the story of one of Australia’s most important 20th century artists.
