What’s on This Weekend in Canberra: Sitchu's Top Picks
This is what we're doing this weekend in Canberra.
Emily Kam Kngwarray
Discover the captivating brushstrokes of a true Australian luminary at the Emily Kam Kngwarray exhibition, poised to be among the best art exhibitions in Canberra. A senior Anmatyerr woman and a 20th-century contemporary art icon, Kngwarray's timeless creations paint a rich tapestry of her extraordinary life. From vibrant batik textiles to colossal canvas masterpieces, this extensive exhibit showcases her artistic evolution. Wander through her art accompanied by soundscapes and audio tours, weaving the songs of awely that inspired Kngwarray's works. With never-seen-before pieces from private collections, this exhibition is a profound tribute to a cultural maven.
