High Colour

High Colour is an immersive exploration of local and global Indigenous perspectives on colour. Inspired by Richard Bell's 2012 work Colour theory, the exhibition considers the role of colour in creating contemporary interpretations of Indigeneity, as well as the use of colour as a form of categorisation. It brings together First Nations artists belonging to or working in Australia, the Great Ocean region, and North America. For these artists, colour is identity, belonging, history and inheritance. This is the first exhibition that considers the Art Gallery of New South Wales' rich First Nations collection within global Indigenous curatorial discourse.
