Nomad Two Worlds

Nomads by name.. .
This location is a prime spot, on the corner leading up to the cultural centre– currently exhibiting the «Nomads» collection. Definitely an amazing collection, if nothing short of ironic when you consider that traditionally the aboriginal people believed that photographs took away some of the soul and even still cover the faces of people in photographs once they pass away. (In Kakadu National Park information and historical centres anyway.)
The building is a bit of a nomad itself, generally lending itself as a photo gallery which is hired out for different exhibitions, and takes on the names accordingly. Whether it is this exhibition or another– I highly recommend this space for artists and browsers alike, with it’s woden floors and high ceilings– I mused and was amused at the diversity that this space offers.
Food for thought in a nomadic world.

Nomad Two Worlds is an art gallery which displays the collaborative project between photographer Russell James and Australian Indigenous artists. It began as a discovery of understanding the link between contemporary and tradition Australia and the art within that. It raises awareness of the beautiful art created by Indigenous Australians but it also keeps it alive and relevant in our society today. It is inspiring to walk around the gallery and witness the combination of the two worlds.
Since creating the gallery, the Nomad Two Worlds Foundation has been set up to help support and encourage Indigenous artists, not just in Australia but across other countries also. It is important to recognize and celebrate traditions and it is necessary to combine it with the work we do today to remind us of our history and origins. It is amazing to see this work in the middle of our city.

Hurry, hurry, hurry, get yourself to Northbridge and check out this exhibition because it’s here for a limited time only. This fantastic collection is the result of a collaborative project between photographer Russell James and Australian Indiginous artists. The work celebrates the Commonwealth, with stunning black and white portraits of people from all the Commonwealth countries beautifully manipulated by Indigenous artists. It’s a really interesting and inspiring exhibition presented in an airy, relaxed space — perfect for a quick stop by if you’re passing. If you want to take a little bit of the exhibition home with you, there are prints and postcards of the artworks for sale.
