N’yettin-ngal Wagur \u2013 Yeye Wongie <\/em>[Ancestors Breath \u2013 Today Talk] is curated by emerging Noongar curator Zali Morgan (Whadjuk, Balladong and Wilman peoples) and brings together four early-career Noongar artists \u2014 Amanda Bell, Brett Nannup, Lea Taylor and Tyrown Waigana. Each artist has been commissioned to produce a new artwork in response to The Herbert Mayer Collection of Carrolup Artwork. The commissions reflect the aesthetics, design and themes present in the original Carrolup works, honouring Noongar histories and the enduring legacy of the Carrolup artists and ancestors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The artists in the exhibition draw inspiration from their own personal experience and the collective stories and truths that make up their communities. The Carrolup Child Artist Movement has influenced many Noongar artists across generations. Notably, this includes the early works of Tjyllyungoo Lance Chadd and the late Meeyakba Shane Pickett. Today, we see artists continue to draw from this visual legacy in their own work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2013, The Herbert Mayer Collection of Carrolup Artwork was returned to Noongar Boodja, under the custodial care of the John Curtin Gallery by Colgate University, New York, following its chance discovery there in 2004. These distinctive drawings were created by Aboriginal children forcibly removed from their families and detained at the Carrolup Native Settlement in Western Australia in the 1940s. The artworks speak strongly to the steadfast resilience of the Stolen Generations against the greatest odds, and their enduring, deep spiritual connection to Country. These artworks were responded to by the artists in this exhibition. Artworks featured are Once known child artists, Reynold Hart and Angelo Ugle.
