In traditional Aboriginal culture, business or law - the rules by which people live - are strictly segregated by gender, with centuries of tradition dictating relationships within families, with members of the community, even with the land itself. "Whose Business Is It?" will feature paintings by Warlpiri men, who create detailed patterns representing complex connections with ancestral country. The exhibit will also showcase new paintings by Warlpiri women, whose bold patterns evoke their rugged desert homelands, and whose vibrant colors reflect the brilliant hues of land and sky.
Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on until August 4.
