A place called Utopia: a talk on Aboriginal art and culture Details box Date and time Sunday 05 December 2021 14:00 - 16:00 Price Free Location Stockport War Memorial Art Gallery, Wellington Road South, Stockport, SK3 8AB Submitted by Stockport War Memorial Art Gallery Booking information To book your place call 0161 474 4453 or email stockport.artgallery@stockport.gov.uk Description Australian Aboriginal people are custodians for their ancestral lands, and have the longest continuous land-based culture in the world. For over 60,000 years, over 250 different language groups thrived until they were jeopardised by British colonisation in 1788. This is a unique opportunity to hear more about 40 remarkable artworks made at the remote outstation of Utopia where traditional culture is still strong. In 1988, acrylic paints were given to the community, and since then, young and old have engaged in transforming their mythic Creation stories, ancestral Dreamings, and ceremonial body painting into exciting, hybrid works of art. This exhibition coincides with a 40-year retrospective of Victoria King’s own artwork in the Upper Gallery. To book your place call 0161 474 4453 or email stockport.artgallery@stockport.gov.uk For anyone over the age of 12.
