Crossing Cultures
Blacktown City Council (2 other projects)
Crossing Cultures - Recent printmaking works from Urban and Desert based Australian Aboriginal Artists. Crossing Cultures is the first international exhibition tour coordinated by Blacktown Arts Centre, touring to Pataka, Porirua, New Zealand. Blacktown Arts Centre collaborated with the College of Fine Arts (COFA) and Indigenous artists from Papunya Tjupi (Northern Territory) and Corroboree Arts and Crafts Co-op (Western Sydney) in a series of residencies, workshops, exhibitions and tour. The Crossing Cultures exhibition showcased recent work by Indigenous artists that enabled the artists to explore a variety of print media including linocuts and etchings. Two Aboriginal artists from Western Sydney, Danny Eastwood and Jake Soewardie, accompanied the tour and participated in a two week series of art and printmaking workshops with Maori, Pacific Islander and North American indigenous artists – resulting in a cross fertilisation of techniques and a heightened sense of cultural exchange between indigenous peoples across the Pacific.
