Big Weather is a timely exhibition that recognises the sophisticated appreciation of weather systems that exists within Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural knowledge. Bringing together a significant selection of works drawn from the NGV Indigenous Collection, Big Weather shares stories of creation to illustrate how landscapes were formed and sacred waterways are refreshed and refilled.
The exhibition features momentous works including Thunderman raining down by Yolngu artist Nonggirrnga Marawilli and Rockholes and Country near Kata Tjuta by Pitjantjatjarra artist Bill Whiskey, alongside works that explore the impact of big weather on Country with a new commission by Yorta Yorta artist Treahna Hamm, which tells the story of the recent destructive bushfires, and a series of photographs showing the flooding of Barkindji Country by Nici Cumpston.
