REVEALED: CELEBRATING WESTERN AUSTRALIAN ABORIGINAL ART, CULTURE AND HISTORY The many different language groups who call Western Australia home, from the desert to the sea, come from communities and localities that are unique and distinct, isolated by rugged landscapes and immense physical distance. Aboriginal Art in Western Australia forms an integral mode of communication between these remote artistic spheres and urban audiences. As such, Revealed communicates many different contemporaneous ideas and attitudes emerging from individual artists across the state, and brings these together through the annual exhibition in metropolitan Perth.

workers that includes networking and skills development. A major objective of Revealed is to link emerging Aboriginal artists and art centres with opportunities in Perth. DCA’s Revealed travel subsidies for art centre artists and staff are essential for the success of the program.

Revealed, an annual program of the WA Department of Culture and the Arts, helps develop the careers of emerging WA Aboriginal artists and assists capacity building within WA Aboriginal Art Centres. This is the second year it has been presented by Fremantle Arts Centre, bringing together artists and art centre staff from all over the state. As well as the exhibition, Revealed comprises four days of activities, including artists’ workshops focusing on learning new processes, professional development for art centre managers, a public talks session focusing on the artists’ stories, a major one-day Art Market and, in the two weeks prior, a curatorial program for three emerging Aboriginal arts

For the participating artists Revealed is an opportunity to see their work hung in a gallery, often for the first time, and a rare chance to meet and engage creatively with other artists from around the state. Most importantly, Revealed offers next generation artists the chance to create their own artistic community.

This year we also worked hard to encourage and include more South West, Noongar and independent artists into the exhibition and public program; a development that is essential for the Revealed event going into the future.

The exhibition is jointly curated by Revealed 2017 Coordinator, Emilia Galatis and this year’s curatorial interns; Marika Riley from Warmun Arts, Cyril Whyoulter from Martumili Artists and Esther Yabini Kickett, an independent artist and arts worker

from metropolitan Perth. FAC is proud to present this selection of emerging artists, offering audiences a comprehensive snapshot of new and unseen WA Aboriginal art practice.

Aboriginal Art Centres are also social enterprises that support people to develop and earn an income and to have a voice in a wider society. Exhibitions, markets and new commercial opportunities, such as the full Revealed program are important to the future of remote communities, allowing these artists to access new pathways and connections with new audiences.

Revealed can be the immediate starting point for a future career or in some cases, a reemergence. Mervyn Street is a finalist in the 2017 Telstra Art Awards with a Sand Animation, a technique he started perfecting at Revealed 2016. Greg Barr, an independent artist who was also selected for Revealed 2016 went on to complete a studio residency at FAC and then his first, sell-out solo show at the Moores Building Contemporary Art Gallery in June 2017. Many other artists have gone on to be picked up by major galleries as well as acquired into collections.

Eva Nargoodah, Artist and Director at Mangkaja Arts, Fitzroy Crossing commented: “The best thing about Revealed is that we have fun and we meet other people whilst learning from each other, coming together as one nation, all brothers and sisters. For emerging artists Revealed is a good opportunity to connect with each other and to put their work through the art centre, for me that’s Mangkaja arts. The market day was also good to see what other people are doing and have the opportunity to connect with other art centres and we have a good time learning from each other – see their art work as well! Learning new skills like helps us with new ideas."

Revealed also talks to the importance of art as just one expression of Aboriginal culture, exploring its inherent connection to other cultural traditions across Aboriginal WA. Revealed paints a picture about art-making, art practice and the ever-changing nature of cross-cultural communication.
