Songlines. Centres d’art du désert australien (Songlines. Art Centre Hub) is a satellite exhibition of Songlines. Tracking the Seven Sisters at the Musée du quai Branly – Jacques Chirac, inviting visitors to explore the recreation of a typical Australian desert Aboriginal art centre.
The Art Centre Hub shop offers a selection of works available for sale from Aboriginal art centres associated with the exhibition Songlines – Tracking the Seven Sisters, presenting a panorama of Aboriginal desert painting, telling stories of the Seven Sisters. It includes a wide variety of works, from small accessible canvases to large works, by both emerging and major established artists. All are sourced from Aboriginal art centres located along the Seven Sisters songline through the Central and Western deserts of Australia.
This is an opportunity to acquire exceptional works with certificates of authenticity from the art centres, at fair prices in ethical and transparent conditions. At the same time these sales support Aboriginal artists and communities.
This initiative is organised by IDAIA in collaboration with the artists, art centres and Emilia Galatis Projects, the Australian Embassy in France, the National Museum of Australia and the Musée du quai Branly – Jacques Chirac.
Initially scheduled to run until 3 July 2023, the Art Centre Hub shop has been extended until 25 August 2023.
