Nolan's Africa
About This Event
In 1962, Sidney Nolan traveled through East Africa, where he studied the wild animals extensively, met ethnic tribal groups and watched labourers toiling in the fields. His visit to Auschwitz loomed large, and he associated the genocide in Europe with the problems in Africa of wildlife slaughter and geopolitical power struggles. Nolan's African Journey paintings explore themes of the effects of colonialism, conflict and animal extinction. Our exhibition follows the recent publication of Nolan's Africa by Nolan scholar Andrew Turley, who has worked closely with the Trust to curate the collection. 11am-4pm Gallery
