Emerging Elders - Honouring senior Indigenous artists

Elders play important roles in Indigenous communities. They are admired and respected as keepers and enforcers of law, stories and culture. They guide communities today as they
have done for generations, and their ability to visualise significant stories gives rise to some of Australia’s most dynamic and stunning contemporary works of art. The artists featured in Emerging Elders are self-taught and have only recently, over the last decade, created and consistently shown their work throughout Australia.
