The Tate Modern in London has just announced a major 2025 solo exhibition of the work of Australia’s most famous and revered indigenous artist, Emily Kam Kngwarray. Although single works of Kngwarray can be seen in Western museums, this will be the first comprehensive European exhibition of her work. This ground-breaking exhibition is a further example of how museum collaborations are expanding audiences for indigenous art, as it is being organized in close collaboration with the National Gallery of Australia (NGA) (see our earlier article on joint museum ownership of works of art). The NGA’s exhibition of Kgnwarray’s work opened December 2, 2023. Kngwarray, who was born around 1914 and died in 1996, did not start painting until her 70s. She was a senior Anmatyerr woman from the Utopia region of Australia (northeast of Alice Springs in Australia’s Northern Territory), whose ritual, ceremonial and spiritual engagement with her homelands was translated into vibrant batik textiles and later into monumental paintings on canvas.
