Murray Bridge Regional Gallery | 25 May – 28 July

Red is the colour of Australia’s centre and the colour that unites these desert artworks. Family, spirituality and Country are expressed by the artists through the vibrancy of red, the colour of the earth beneath their feet.

Red Heart of Australia is an exhibition of eight paintings, created by Aboriginal artists from across central Australia. This exhibition was displayed at the National Art Museum of China in 2021.

With the theme ‘Now More Than Ever’, National Reconciliation Week serves as a vital opportunity for all Australians to reflect on the past, acknowledge the present, and commit to building a more equitable and respectful future. Reconciliation is a journey that requires active participation and engagement, with a sense of shared responsibility transcending race, ethnicity, and background.

As we mark National Reconciliation Week, the Rural City of Murray Bridge encourages individuals, organisations and communities across the region to actively participate in reconciliation, not only for one week a year, but every day. By joining in solidarity and mutual respect, we can create a more inclusive and equitable society for future generations.
