Step into the world of artist Emily Kam Kngwarray, an Anmatyerr woman from Alhalker Country in the Northern Territory, Australia. In the 1970s she was introduced to making batiks and then started painting when she was in her seventies. Over 8 years, she produced thousands of canvases and gained worldwide attention. Her work is based on deep cultural knowledge of her ancestral Country, layering motifs representing the plants, animals and geological features around her.
Despite being held in major collections, Tate Modern's new exhibition is the first major retrospective of her work in the Northern Hemisphere. See it at Tate Modern from 10 July 2025 until 11 January 2026: https://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate...
