Aboriginal Art in America Podcast

Each week we spend a few minutes getting to know a work by an Indigenous Australian artist. We'll talk about medium, style, the evolution of Aboriginal art over its 50,000+ years, and the ways these works and artists transcend and translate the issues of the day from the other side of the world. Aboriginal Art in America is made by The Kluge-Ruhe Aboriginal Art Collection, the only museum outside of Australia dedicated to the exhibition and study of Indigenous Australian art, and The Virginia Audio Collective.

    Past & Present Together: 50 Years of Papunya Tula Artists

    This week we introduce a new project from the Kluge-Ruhe made in collaboration with UVA Press. Curator Henry Skerritt dives into the history of the Papunya Tula Artists — a movement started in Northern Australia that is now celebrating its 50th anniversary. The Kluge-Ruhe’s current exhibit and launch of their new project both serve as a tribute to the Papunya Tula Artists who changed the face of global contemporary art.  Learn more about Papunya Tula: https://kluge-ruhe.org/exhibition/irrititja-kuwarri-tjungu-past-present-together-50-years-papunya-tula-artists/

    Boomalli Artists Refused to be Pigeon-Holed

    As a collective, Boomalli helped to promote the idea of urban Aboriginal art. However, the ten artists had distinctive artistic and personal identities. The work in this exhibition cuts across multiple generations, sexual orientations, and language groups to defy both cultural and artistic expectations. The inclusive environment of Boomalli created a space for these identities to intersect. The spark lit by the founding members of Boomalli transformed what Aboriginal art could be, igniting a movement that spread across Australia.
