For the 38th Kaldor Public Art Project, John Kaldor has invited German artist Thomas Demand to create an extraordinary exhibition space in the Art Gallery of New South Wales’ Naala Badu building, specifically designed to display the John Kaldor Family Collection in a whole new light.

The place in Europe to experience contemporary Aboriginal visual arts from Australia is AAMU in Utrecht (Netherlands). Like the art itself, the museum is constantly in motion. Every year AAMU presents two to three exhibitions where you can get to know the versatility, power and individuality of Aboriginal art. Each exhibition has a new perspective and shows the different directions and trends that have evolved in this contemporary art form.

The Garma Festival is Australia’s largest Indigenous gathering, a 4-day celebration of Yolngu life and culture held in remote northeast Arnhem Land.

This one-day film festival will bring together five works created by a range of Australian Indigenous directors. This will be the first screening of these films in Japan.

The film festival will be a hybrid event, available both in-person at the venue and online (for people resident in Japan).

CINEMA FROM A FIRST NATIONS PERSPECTIVE

After the undeniable success of its two previous editions, the Australian Aboriginal Film Festival returns this year, taking place in Paris at the Cinéma des Cinéastes from June 7 - 10, 2018.

The Festival is placed this year under the sign “ Connection to Country ”, which approaches from several angles the interdependence between the aboriginal populations and the land. In all, no less than ten films will be presented during the four days of the event, most of which are previews. The Festival is expanding in 2018 with the inclusion of an immersive Hors Les Murs program ( La Géode, Quai Branly Museum, as well as the Planetarium).
