ETCHED IN THE SUN

Prints by Indigenous artists

25 September - 2 November 2008, ANU Drill Hall Gallery

This exhibition will be presented in association with the ANU Drill Hall Gallery and Basil Hall Editions (Darwin). Curated by Djon Mundine

This exhibition of prints represents a selection of original works made by Indigenous artists in collaboration with former Canberra printmaker Basil Hall and his Darwin printers in the last decade.

Etched in the Sun demonstrates the skill with which Indigenous artists in remote communities and urban areas have continued to adapt to new mediums and the extraordinary results they have achieved in collaboration with a group of leading Australian printmakers.
