Embark on a journey through Australia’s cultural landscape with two poignant documentaries that illuminate Indigenous perspectives on art, history, and identity. Mr. Patterns chronicles the transformative impact of Geoff Bardon, an art teacher who, in the early 1970s, introduced Western desert Aboriginal communities to the medium of dot painting. Working alongside the Papunya artists, Bardon facilitated the resurgence of traditional designs, intertwining cultural expression with economic independence. In Too Many Captain Cooks, Rembarrnga elder Paddy Fordham Wainburranga offers a critical retelling of Captain James Cook’s arrival from an Aboriginal perspective.
Step into a spellbinding night of creativity in the Skyroom at the Nevada Museum of Art. Dance under the candlelight with live music from DJ Fox & Buck, strike a pose in our eerie photobooth, and show off your best attire in our Costume Contest. Enjoy libations while reimagining a classic painting with a spooky twist and craft a Batik masterpiece at this hands-on event for adults.
