Australia has inspired many artists to reexamine and
navigate the country’s troubled colonial history through questions
about identity, belonging, and its increasingly fragile ecosystems. Under a Southern Star showcases
the work of twelve contemporary Australian artists together with
earlier, iconic photographs related to the nation’s
history.
Explore the exhibition with a virtual tour now available on our website.
