NATIONAL GALLERY ART CASE: COUNTRY (COPPER CASE)
Explore works of art from the National Gallery of Australia up close and in person.
From Monday 3 February to Friday 28 February the Western Downs Regional Council’s Arts and Culture team are bringing this educational case to schools and community groups of the region. This program is suitable for kindergarten, primary and secondary students as well as aged care facilities.
The Country Art Case brings together First Nations’ works showcasing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives, ideas and stories about land and Country. Many of the works in this case are made by using natural material, sometimes sourced via cultural collection. Knowing how material is collected from the environment can give an insight into the relationship Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have with the natural surroundings. This case also looks at the shared histories of First Nations and non-First Nations peoples since colonisation, and the adaptive nature of First Nations peoples when looking after and utilising their land and Country. First Nations’ ideas and philosophies provide a holistic view of land and Country, connecting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples through place, spirit, culture, practice and ceremony.
Register a visit to Dogwood Crossing, Miles or book an incursion where we visit your school or community group by calling Amy Bevan our Exhibitions and Public Programs Officer on 07 4679 4312 or emailing
