The Hills Overlooking the River Land

The Hills Overlooking the River Land brings together work that both examines and celebrates Bungambrawatha Albury and its surrounds primarily from the perspectives of artists who live and work in the region. The local landscape features prominently in the exhibition as a site of natural beauty, changing environmental conditions, agriculture, colonial impact, and First Nations connection to Country.

The Hills Overlooking the River Land features painting, sculptural works, video and the recent outcomes of the Mawang Program, an artist led project that fosters cultural connection through art making for young First Nations artists. It includes newly commissioned and recent work by locally based artists, as well as works from the MAMA collection by artists based beyond the Bungambrawatha Albury region that reflect on specific sites, cultural traditions, and issues of land management of local relevance.
