The vast state of Western Australia is comprised of the homeland communities and traditional Country of diverse Aboriginal Peoples, whose ancestors have walked these lands for tens of thousands of years. The many tracks and trails trodden by our ancestors have been here since the times of creation.

Their journeys and experiences are the first chapters of the epic narrative of this continent we call Australia – they are not chapters bound within a book, but instead they can be witnessed in the plants and animals around us, read in the Country below and around us, and etched within us.

In the here and now, many of the stories from those first chapters are shared publically in the form of artwork, which documents and carries forward the enduring relationships and attachment Aboriginal people have to their Country. These works are also enactments of cultures, identities, and our lived and shared experiences. Many of these artworks reveal other chapters of the Aboriginal history of this place, from the times before and during invasion, to the present, and in some cases they consider what the future may look like.

In a nation that has often averted, diverted and distracted itself and its people from looking back on our recent colonial history, we Aboriginal peoples have made a point of keeping record through our cultural practices, and our traditions of storytelling. Contemporary Aboriginal art now plays a significant role in sharing our stories, our histories and our realities with global audiences, while simultaneously generating economic opportunity for artists and their communities.

Revealed: New & Emerging WA Aboriginal Artists now held at Fremantle Art Centre and formerly at Gallery Central and the Perth Cultural Centre has played a significant role in showcasing the work of Aboriginal artists and their representative art centres, while also developing new markets and audiences. The Revealed initiative has now been running for ten years and is comprised of a number of different components. The Revealed program includes professional development sessions for artists and arts workers, a curated exhibition showcasing exciting new work, curatorial placements for emerging curators, a forum for artists to share their stories with the public, and an art market which offers the public an opportunity to connect personally with Western Australian Aboriginal art centres, and more recently, with a large number of independent Aboriginal artists.

For many people in our state, who don’t frequent the small towns and communities that are home to artists and their art centres, it can be hard to conceptualise what an Aboriginal art centre looks like, or the work they undertake with community. These important spaces, which vary greatly in terms of scale, resources and remoteness, are important community hubs – they support artists, their families and the broader community socially, politically, culturally and financially. A single painting by an artist working from one of these art centres may only take a day or two to paint, but the investment required in supporting this artist, their community and their culture is critical to the artist being able to paint in the first place.

Over the last decade, the Revealed initiative has showcased not only the artworks that emerge from Aboriginal art centres, but has highlighted how art centres operate. Revealed has offered a behind-the-scenes look at the workings of art centres, highlighting or bringing attention to the time and energy invested in creative projects and the efforts made in maintaining, continuing and revitalising the cultures that inform Aboriginal art practice.

In showcasing the work of artists and art centres, Revealed has become an essential platform for building awareness around the Aboriginal art industry, encouraged ethical buying practices and has created new market opportunities in Western Australia.

For artists and arts workers, Revealed is a time of coming together, of seeing each other’s work, learning from each other and sharing experiences – a gathering centred around art and culture, where their business as artists, and those whose work supports art-making is celebrated, prioritised and valued.

Revealed showcases the immense creative energy of Western Australia’s Aboriginal artists and art centres, while re-centering Aboriginal voices in discussions around art and culture; it honours and pays tribute to the legacy of Aboriginal art and culture; seeks to find solutions to challenges in the here and now; and anticipates what the future of our arts sector looks like. For Aboriginal artists working in Western Australia, Revealed has become a critical platform to share creativity, culture and experience – and in doing so it enables a better understanding, for all, of the rich and complex history of this ancient land and its First Peoples.

Glenn Iseger-Pilkington | Creative Arts Consultant and Member of the Revealed Advisory Group Wadjarri, Nhanda and Nyoongar Peoples

I was delighted to be part of the Revealed Exhibition in 2018.

My involvement began when Erin Coates, Revealed Coordinator, invited me to be on the selection panel with Carly Lane and Glenn Iseger-Pilkington. During the selection process we saw innovative work from established communities, such as Patsy Mudgedell’s graphic work alongside the impressive paintings of Jimmy Tchooga and Miriam Baadjo from Warlayirti Artists; and experimental work that was often collaborative, including the glass piece, In the Wind, from the Cheeditha Art Group based in Roebourne; the Dingo Flour bag textile work, Pulku Pulku, by artists from the Marnin Studio in Fitzroy Crossing; and the Message Sticks installation by Colleen and Mauretta Drage from the Northampton Old School Community Initiative. It was a vibrant and engaging ‘snapshot’ of new work that was being created by Aboriginal artists across Western Australia, and one that provided an intriguing sample of work that was to be in the exhibition. I have Glenn and Carly to thank for the selection of excellent work, across a diverse range of media, by artists from 26 communities, as well as independent artists based in towns and metropolitan areas.

When it came time to unpack the art that had been delivered to Fremantle Arts Centre, I realised that many artists had chosen to use the colour orange; from the warm, caramel ochre in April Nulgit’s (Warmun Art Centre) Gija & Ngarinyin to Lydia Young’s (Tjarlirli Art) remarkable photograph of dry grass being consumed by flames. Balancing the colour orange in each room became a guiding principle for the curatorial team. Joining me

on the team were three Aboriginal arts workers undertaking professional development as a part of Revealed: Wendy Nanji, a Manjilyjarra/Martu artist from Spinifex Hill Artists in Port Hedland; Ignatius Taylor (Hamzah), a Martu artist from Martumili Artists in Newman; and Noongar woman, Irma Woods, who works in theatre and film in Perth. In addition to the depth of cultural knowledge each brought to the project, as artists, Hamzah and Wendy were sensitive to the placement of art, while Irma’s management skills proved invaluable.

The curatorial team began by working with Erin Coates, and Emma Buswell, Installation Coordinator, to unwrap and place works in the galleries. Each arts worker was given the opportunity to finalise groupings of art and then assist with their installation. Irma and Hamzah took on the challenge of arranging the beautifully carved snakes from Maruku Arts which appear to be chasing the Tjanpi Desert Weavers’ woven rabbits. They worked together to create a map of their desired layout, before ensnaring each object with wire and securing it in position. The success of this dramatic installation is testament to their design, and Irma’s determination to be involved at every stage through to completion. Hamzah was also responsible for hanging Joan Simon’s (Waringarri) three berry paintings, before finalising the placement of pieces from Mangkaja Arts. He arranged Margaret Allen’s enamel drawings alongside John Nargoodah’s carved and incised leather items in a display of detailed, worked surfaces that countered the great wall of textiles from Nagula Jarndu Designs.

Wendy turned her colour sense and her observational skills to hanging work by As We Are artists Delores Purdie, Vicki Lee Devenish and Kirsten Cameron. She balanced their loose brushwork and luminous colours to create a cluster of works on paper, canvas and silk that read beautifully against the power of Martumili’s Judith Anya Samson’s two paintings Yurl Yurl and Emu Tracks to Puntawarri, and the impressive, acrylic painting by Gloria (Wendy’s artistic colleague from Spinifex Arts). Wendy also determined the final placement of her own three portraits. The arts workers gained much from the professional guidance of FAC installation staff, and it was a pleasure to work with such a great team.

Revealed 2018 is a survey of remarkable new work from emerging Aboriginal artists. I believe that the strength of these works lies in the confidence of each artist: they are sure of who they are, and what it is they wish to communicate. While visual forms are just one aspect of cultural knowledge, this exhibition is replete with engaging and potent statements relating to place and identity.

I thank the artists for their generosity in offering audiences the chance to engage with such powerful expressions of culture.
