Aboriginal Australian art is the oldest continuous artistic tradition and has emerged as one of the world’s most important contemporary art movements. Mick Namarari Tjapaltjarri, a Pintupi man, was one of Australia’s most acclaimed artists and a founder of the Western Desert art movement. Namarari’s works reveal the depth and complexity of his artistic expression as he strove to present the ancestral narratives of his desert homelands in new and innovative ways.

Join Dr. Henry Skerritt, Assistant Professor in the Department of Art at the University of Virginia and Curator of Research at the Kluge-Ruhe Aboriginal Art Collection for a lively talk about the dynamic works featured in Mick Namarari Tjapaltjarri: Mysteries that Remain.
