Over the last quarter of a century distinguished cermacist Pippin Drysdale has been refining her scupltural forms, her materials and her colour palette to create a unique body of work that explores the Australian landscape. Drysdale's exhibition Tanami Mapping features nearly 100 vessels and closed forms that evoke the topography of anthills, mountain ranges, tumbling tracts of spinifex and rocky protuberances that spring from the red soil of the Australian desert.   >> more

 

ENVIRONMENTAL FILM FESTIVAL: Washington DC

In My Father's Country (2007, 80mins) Washington DC Premiere
In one of the most remote corners of indigenous Australia, a boy will soon become a man. Documenting a significant family moment in Northern Australia's Arnhem Land region, In My Father's Country offers a timely insight into how a community practicing the oldest living culture in the world can assimilate modernity, from new government policies to The Simpsons, while still upholding the laws of their ancestral country. This is the intimate story of one family's struggle, and of one boy's passage into the ancient laws of men. Directed by Tom Murray. Produced by Graeme Isaac.

6.30pm, Monday 22nd March @ Embassy of Australia
