Sacred Stories: Art from Utopia and Beyond: A collection of contemporary Aboriginal paintings from Utopia and the Northern Territory

SACRED STORIES brings together a collection of contemporary Aboriginal art from Utopia and the Northern Territory, showcasing the rich cultural traditions and innovative artistry of Indigenous communities. This exhibition highlights the works of artists from the Anmatyerre and Alyawarre people of Utopia, alongside other First Nations artists from across the Northern Territory, offering a powerful and diverse reflection of Aboriginal identity, land, and spirituality.

The exhibition is a celebration of both tradition and innovation, as Aboriginal artists continue to evolve their artistic practices while staying deeply connected to their cultural roots. Through the dynamic use of dots, lines, and natural pigments, the featured works capture the profound connection to Country, with themes of Dreamings (Jukurrpa), ancestral stories, and the natural world deeply embedded in every brushstroke.
