Tracks We Share: Contemporary Art of the Pilbara
Tracks We Share is an introduction to the Aboriginal artists and art centres of the Pilbara, an ancient and beautiful region spanning over 500,000 square kilometres of Australia’s North West. Though the Pilbara is primarily associated with the resources industry in the national consciousness, Tracks We Share showcases its richness as an art-making centre. The exhibition highlights some of the most innovative contemporary artists working in the region today and pays tribute to several iconic painters who helped build its art scene over the past two decades.
The exhibition traces a journey from the Pilbara’s ancient coastline, through its many towns, vast pastoral leases and dramatic plains and tablelands, to the desert art that was the first work from the region to garner widespread national acclaim during the 2000s.
