Overview

The National Indigenous Art Triennial brings together commissioned work by established and emerging First Nations artists from across Australia, creating an important platform for art and ideas.

Each iteration of the Triennial is led by a First Nations curator with an original vision. Artistic Director for the 5th National Indigenous Art Triennial is Tony Albert (Girramay/Yidinji/Kuku-Yalanji peoples), one of Australia’s foremost contemporary artists.

After the Rain will present new immersive projects that resonate with the idea of rebirth and cycles of cleansing and celebrate inter-generational legacies and cultural warriors of the past, present and future.

The National Indigenous Art Triennial is made possible through the continued generosity of the National Gallery’s First Nations Arts Partner Wesfarmers Arts and key philanthropic supporters.

Following its presentation in Kamberri/Canberra, After the Rain will tour nationally.
