[edit]Content presented in the exhibition
[edit]The exhibition traces the life and work of Swiss artist and curator Bernhard Lüthi. Since his first visit to Australia in 1974, Lüthi documented rock art and fostered close ties with Aboriginal artists and activists. He later focused on curatorial work, organising key exhibitions that introduced Aboriginal art to European audiences. The show presents his extensive archive alongside works by artists central to his career, addressing themes of colonialism, Eurocentrism, and racism.
