This is the second of two exhibitions awarded to graduates of the School of Art, Charles Darwin University in 2003. Gallery 2.

Local curators Gary Lee and Maurice O’Riordan are drawn to the universality of dolls as fundamental icons of humanity, which sit somewhere between ‘toy’ and ‘idol’. ‘Nice Coloured Dolls’ celebrates a diversity of ‘black’ dolls and explores the myriad ways they inhabit the lives of their owners. The gallery becomes a dollhouse of complex desires embodied by more than 50 dolls commissioned or loaned from participants in Darwin, nationally and overseas. Gallery 2.
