How different would this country have been as Terra Alterius: Land of Another? This exhibition provokes our thinking on the subject, and through the work of the twelve artists, Indigenous and non-Indigenous, in response to this idea. Individually, the works are imaginative, emotionally powerful and thought provoking. Together, they present glimpses of the culture and presence of another Australia, one in which Indigenous and non-Indigenous cultures first meet and interact with respect for each other’s existence, difference, law and culture.
