HEAR, Inaugural Exhibition
10 November - 18 December 2021
CLIMARTE was proud to open the world’s first Climate Emergency Gallery with HEAR, an exhibition of contemporary Indigenous art calling for all Australians to listen to and care for Country.
For CLIMARTE, it was critically important that the Gallery open with First Nations artists’ voices. We were humbled by the opportunity to present this exceptional collection of deeply engaging artwork.
We thank all participating artists. Artists include Peter Waples-Crowe, Deanne Gilson, Professor Brian Martin (courtesy William Mora Galleries), Kent Morris and James Tylor (courtesy Vivien Anderson Gallery)
Creative Producer, Jo Lane.
We would also encourage you to read this Summary Report from the National First Peoples Gathering on Climate Change, held with 110 traditional owners in Cairns in March 2021.
HEAR was made possible thanks to a 2021 Annual Grant from the City of Yarra.
