Synopsis
A landmark exhibition on the history of the Australia - China trade in trepang (sea cucumber) opens in Beijing. It is the culmination of an extraordinary partnership between artists ‘Joe’ Xiaoping and the late Aboriginal artist JBB, forged over 20 years in remote Arnhem Land. As JBB’s son Paul and brother Peter attend the exhibition opening, Joe’s fascinating story unfolds in a compelling series of glimpses into his life and work.
