Funded Activity Summary

Anthropological Art History: New Approaches to Aboriginal Desert Art. This project aims to explore cultural, linguistic and geographic aspects of Aboriginal Western Desert art. The rise of Aboriginal desert art is an important cultural development in Australia’s cross-cultural history. Yet little research has been conducted directly with Western Desert artists. Consequently, our understanding of these artists and the historical, cultural and kin-based relationships that underscore their art practice remains undeveloped. The project intends to address these limitations to produce an anthropologically-informed art history. It is anticipated that this history will increase public appreciation of Aboriginal art, promote Aboriginal art and artists globally, and improve Aboriginal peoples’ capacity to access mainstream markets.
