Yesterday I visited the exhibit, Everywhen: The Eternal Present in Indigenous Art from Australia at the Harvard Art Museum. It was an incredibly moving experience. The exhibit was designed around these major ideas, transformations, seasonality, performance, and remembrance. The included in the exhibition was a combination of at traditional indigenous Australian art and culture and reactionary contemporary indigenous artwork.
The exhibition was very charged and powerful. You could feel the emotion, importance in each artwork. This was by far one of the best exhibitions I’ve been to in a while, I definitely recommend visiting it if you are in the area.
