Writing on the Wall exhibition

Asia and the Pacific / / Melbourne
Blak Dot Gallery

Language is part of our identity and our culture. We remind ourselves the various forms of language and communication like song and dance, storytelling, art, and the importance to continue teaching and sharing knowledge. Writing on the Wall raises awareness of the threat of extinction of our indigenous languages. The exhibition supports the United Nations 2019 International Year of Indigenous Languages and the important role language and culture play in our daily lives. Through the artistic practices of our emerging First Nations artists, we learn how they champion and celebrate the survival of our First Nations languages.
