Hear from Vincent Namatjira (Western Aranda people) in conversation with Lisa Slade (Assistant Director, Art Gallery of South Australia) and Bruce Johnson-McLean (Weirdi, Birri-Gubba peoples, Assistant Director, First Nations Engagement and Head Curator, First Nations Art, National Gallery of Australia).
The first Indigenous artist to win the Archibald Prize, Vincent Namatjira has become known as a subversive and witty portraitist and a satirical chronicler of Australian identity.
The panel discusses his paintings of important figures, both personal and political, and ideas about power, politics and history that inform his work.
The artist reflects on the influence of his great-grandfather, Western Arranda artist, Albert Namatjira. A selection of Albert Namatjira’s watercolours from the national collection are featured in the exhibition, only at the National Gallery.
This is a Tarnanthi touring exhibition presented by the Art Gallery of South Australia in partnership with the National Gallery of Australia.
