10.01.2022 TALKING ART & IDEAS // The Master from Marnpi by Alec B O’Halloran Page 125: Dr Vincent Megaw had met the artists at Papunya in the early 80’s and invited them to the Flinders University Art Museum, where both men completed some artworks The master from Marnpi carefully traces Namarari’s journey as a child, survivor, stockman, traveller, artist, family leader, cultural advocate and community member; through his life as a boy, adult and old man. This detailed and sensitive... narration of Namarari’s fascinating life in Australia’s desert settlements is illuminating for readers interested in Aboriginal art, yielding broader insights into Aboriginal artists’ lives, the meaning of their art and the links between an art centre and the marketplace.

08.01.2022 IN THE HOLD | VIRTUAL SYMPOSIUM // Thursday 24 September, 9:15 - 4:30. PROGRAM 9:45 - 10:40am // Fiona Foley 'Turning the Tide' (Ruth and Vincent Megaw Lecture in Archaeology and Art) 'The intensity of the unknown for the Badtjala people and the English, I imagine, would have created a heightened sense of curiosity upon seeing one another. In May of 1770, many Aboriginal sovereign nations watched a foreign vessel, the Endeavour, sail up the eastern coast for days, passing na...tion after nation, who communicated with one another about its progress. The Badtjala people were unique because as not many people in the world would be aware they created a song recounting what happened when the ship passed by our country on May 20th of that year. The gaze went both ways. This lecture reflects on the encounter that took place between the Badtjala and the English in 1770. It includes the screening of Foley’s 2019 film Out of the Sea Like Cloud (10min) and song performed by Teila Watson.'

06.01.2022 EXHIBITION // Looking Glass: Yhonnie Scarce and Judy Watson // 'A love song viewed through a looking glass' by David Sly Flinders University Museum of Art is thrilled to present the work of two of Australia’s most acclaimed contemporary Indigenous artists Judy Watson and Yhonnie Scarce in a new exhibition organised by TarraWarra Museum of Art and Ikon (Birmingham, UK) with distinguished Arrernte and Kalkadoon curator Hetti Perkins. In the words of Perkins: The seductive ...beauty of Watson’s and Scarce’s works belies their powerful message about the sustained campaign of the destruction of Country, culture and community in Aboriginal Australiatheir work is a kind of ‘tender trap’. With the devastating evidence of climate change in Australia, manifest in apocalyptic wildfires and storms, this exhibition delivers an urgent message. See link below to access full write up.

01.01.2022 TALKING ART & IDEAS // 'University art exhibitions are the home of the brave, review finds' by Kerrie O'Brien for The Age "Our exhibitions are very much ideas-driven, spaces to explore things that are not necessarily front of mind for our public and regional galleries. Universities are places of ideas, scholarship, pushing boundaries, new knowledge. That is the realm in which we are operating; we need to be brave." - Fiona Salmon https://www.theage.com.au//university-art-exhibitions-are-
