An Ever Present Universe will open on Friday, together with the Gallery’s other four new exhibitions.
This will be the first exhibition to launch within the creative hub’s new family learning space which features colours, sounds, and interactive apps suited to children aged 0 to 14.
“In here children can hear language, learn language and see illustrations done by Indigenous artists,” WAG curator Ren Gregoric said. “Pictures are hung at children’s eye level and the space is tactile, colourful and designed to awaken the senses.”
Warrnambool artist Fiona Clarke is presenting the star dreaming story of the Seven Sisters: a culturally significant creation songline amongst a large number of Indigenous Australian language groups.
Her artwork will feature with story in language and English by Vicki Couzens.
