One of Australia's most fearless and influential voices in contemporary art, Tony Albert brings together work across sculpture, photography, installation, painting and assemblage, alongside major new commissions. Not a Souvenir takes inspiration from the MCA's location at Tallawoladah and The Rocks precinct—a significant site of early colonial contact now synonymous with tourism and souvenir culture. The exhibition considers the commodification and misrepresentation of Aboriginal people and culture, both historically and today, while celebrating survival and cultural pride. Guest curated by renowned Indigenous curator Bruce Johnson McLean (Wierdi people) and developed in close collaboration with the artist (Girramay, Kuku Yalanji and Yidindji peoples).
