Enjoy this series of videos exploring the work of Mavis Ngallametta (1944-2019) with Katina Davidson, Curator of Indigenous Australian Art, and co-curator of the 2020 exhibition ‘Mavis Ngallametta: Show Me the Way to Go Home’. Turn up the volume on the walk-through tour, relax, and float away in the beauty of her work.

Mavis Ngallametta made a profound contribution to arts and culture in Australia, and particularly in Queensland, her home state. An elder of the Putch clan and a cultural leader of the Wik and Kugu people of Aurukun, Mavis Ngallametta was one of the most well-regarded senior community-based artists.
