eNewsletter August 14, 2024     Art on Hulfish Under a Southern Star: Identity and Environment in Australian Photography Opens August 17 This exhibition showcases the work of contemporary Australian artists together with earlier, iconic photographs related to Australia’s history. The juxtaposition of photographs across time illustrates changing views of cultural and national identity—most notably, the primacy of Aboriginal culture in the Australian experience. Works on view employ a wide array of visually arresting photographic techniques and explore themes such as migration, settler colonialism, landscape, environmental degradation, and portraiture.       Save the Date Nassau Street Sampler Thursday, September 5, 5–7 p.m. Dillon Gym and Art on Hulfish   Celebrate the beginning of the fall semester and an exciting new year of programs at the Art Museum’s sixteenth annual Nassau Street Sampler.
