Western Australia’s best new and emerging Aboriginal artists will be celebrated once more when the Revealed Exhibition returns to Fremantle Arts Centre this weekend.
This year the Revealed Exhibition will open on Friday 6 May and run until Sunday 24 July, a significant calendar shift that sees Revealed coincide with both NAIDOC and ³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾ Reconciliation Weeks.
With over 250 works, the 2022 Revealed Exhibition features artists from 29 Aboriginal Art Centres and nine independent artists.
Visual Arts Curator Glenn Iseger-Pilkington said Fremantle Arts Centre’s galleries will be filled with a vibrant breadth of painting, installation, textiles, photography, print media, video, jewellery, weaving and sculpture.
“Revealed is a joy and a celebration, for artists and our communities,” Mr Iseger-Pilkington said.
“The exhibition brings together emerging artists at all stages of their lives and showcases Aboriginal art making in all of its diversity and complexity, revealing rich and multi-layered cultural conversations about our histories, our lives and our belongings.
“Walking through Revealed, you’re filled with a sense of wonder at the stories shared – from ancient narratives of the Dreaming to the funny quirks of Arts Centre life.”
Fremantle Art Centre Director Anna Reece said the Revealed Exhibition had become a cornerstone of the WA arts calendar.
“Revealed is a critical moment in the national calendar for Western Australian Aboriginal artists and connects deeply with Fremantle Art Centre’s overall curatorial commitment to connecting people through truth-telling and powerful narratives of place,” Ms Reece said.
