The Children’s Art Centre presents ‘Kangaroo Crew’, an interactive artist project created especially for children and families by Indigenous Australian artist Gordon Hookey, from the Waanyi people. The ‘Kangaroo Crew’ exhibition is based on ‘The Sacred Hill’, an insightful narrative developed by Gordon Hookey. Children are able to engage with the story through hands-on and multimedia interactives, and a story book published by the Children’s Art Centre, illustrated with more than 20 paintings by the artist. The art works produced for the publication are also on display in the exhibition.
Gordon Hookey is the fifth Australian artist to develop a major interactive exhibition for children since 2009, joining Australian artists Fiona Hall, Pip & Pop, Callum Morton and Anne Wallace, and the first Indigenous artist presented in the series.
The Kangaroo Crew opens to coincide with ‘My Country, I Still Call Australia Home: Contemporary Art from Black Australia’.
