Origin Stories : Creation Narratives in Australian Aboriginal Art
From september 26 to december 9 2001
Primitive art
This selection of works by Australian Aboriginal artists focuses on the tales of the Dreamtime - a time when powerful ancestral beings created landscapes, animals, human beings, and established laws for aboriginal peoples. Through painting, the artists pass the knowledge of tales to the next generations.
