Gallery 1 & 2
Culture Trackers
Graham Badari, Simon Badari, Gershom Garlngarr, Linde Ivimey, Nick Mangan, Gabriel Maralngurra, Kate Rohde, Peter Walsh and Guan Wei.
24HR Art devised an artist camp in collaboration with Injalak Arts and Crafts near Gunbalanya in Western Arnhem Land. The two week camp included five interstate artists and followed in the long tradition of explorative field trips by artists seeking inspiration from the unique landscapes and cultures of the Northern Territory. The late Colin Jack-Hinton, the inaugural Director of the MAGNT, was a driving force in today’s legacy of artist camps in the NT, 24HR Art maintains this tradition of intercultural exchange between Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists of Australia.
