Tracks We Share: Contemporary Art of the Pilbara - Softcover Book (m/fac051)

An unprecedented insight into the Pibara’s visual art movement during the 21st century, Tracks We Share: Contemporary Art of the Pilbara offers a broad-ranging contemplation of one of the key ways the Pilbara’s Aboriginal communities share, sustain and celebrate culture. This comprehensive publication contains essays and commentary by leading curators on the artists and practices of the region, signifying the first time that the Pilbara has been presented and evaluated as an art-making centre equal to any other in Australia.

The book also shares images and stories of the artworks, artists and Country showcased in the Tracks We Share: Contemporary Art of the Pilbara exhibition which premiered at The Art Gallery of Western Australia in March 2022. As some of the region’s most senior artists cease painting, and younger generations embark on their own artistic approaches to sharing culture, Tracks We Share records and appraises an important moment in a significant regional art movement, highlighting the unique space the Pilbara’s Aboriginal artists have carved out in contemporary Australian art.
