The record-breaking exhibition of art and new media, Yiwarra Kuju: The Canning Stock Route will return to Western Australia as the cultural backdrop to the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in October 2011. Produced by FORM and the National Museum of Australia, Yiwarra Kuju will be open to the public throughout November at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre as a free show (2 – 27 November) supported by a rich calendar of public program events including tours, talks and film screenings. Aboriginal curators and filmmakers, mentored on the Canning Stock Route Project over five years, will return with Yiwarra Kuju for its public showing to offer visitors a unique insight into the stories of the exhibition. While the famous adventure route is featured in Perth, the broader cityscape will come to life at night with projected images of the people and art of the Canning Stock Route as concrete spaces are transformed into landscapes and landforms from the heart of the Western Desert. |
