Synopsis
Travels to the picturesque city of St Petersburg in Russia where the National Gallery of Australia (NGA) exhibited the 'World of Dreamings': the largest collection of Aboriginal art and artefacts to ever leave our shores. The exhibition aims to give a broad view of Aboriginal art by focusing on some of the highest achievements of Aboriginal artists from six distinct cultural blocs in Aboriginal Australia, each with its own artistic traditions in terms of materials, art styles and subject matter. Part of ICAM series.
