My Country, I Still Call Australia Home: Contemporary Art from Black Queensland is the latest QAGOMA exhibition to travel throughout regional Queensland. QAGOMA Director Chris Saines said the touring version of ‘My Country’ features more than 25 works by 20 artists.
‘The exhibition includes artworks from the Gallery's holdings of Indigenous Australian painting, sculpture, fibre art, prints and photography which explore the history, contemporary issues and geographic country of Queensland’s Indigenous peoples,’ Mr Saines said.
There will be important works by contemporary Queensland artists including Michael Cook and Fiona Foley, as well as works by the late Mirdidingkingathi Juwarrnda Sally Gabori that describe deep connections to country. A selection of the Gallery’s popular Ku’ (Camp Dogs) by a group of Aurukun-based artists will also be on display.
