The Australian continent is home to the world’s oldest living culture: over 250 different groups, each with their own customs, language, and art. Showcasing this cultural diversity, The Stars We Do Not See: Australian Indigenous Art brings together major pieces from the National Gallery of Victoria’s globally recognised collection of works by Indigenous artists in an unprecedented presentation of First Nations Australian art and design. From legends such as Emily Kam Kngwarray, Albert Namatjira, and Queenie McKenzie to barrier-breaking contemporary artists like Destiny Deacon, Richard Bell, and Maree Clarke, this vibrantly illustrated volume traces the strength, creativity, and resistance of Indigenous peoples, as captured in the extraordinary breadth and depth of their many artistic traditions.
