CASSANDRA BIRD is proud to present an exhibition of compelling new artworks by The Tennant Creek Brio. The Tennant Creek Brio are an artist collective working on Warumungu country, including contemporary artists from Northern Central Australia and Melbourne.
The Brio fuse Aboriginal cultural heritage, the industrial materiality of the mining industry and regional and global art influences to express and re-imagine their cross-cultural identities and the reality of unresolved tensions between Indigenous and settler colonial cultures, the renewal and remaking of cultural practices, and the collaborative resilience of a frontier community. The collective’s deeply personal artworks draw upon complex intergenerational influences that continue to shape the artists lives and identities.
