4th TarraWarra Biennial
16 August – 16 November, 2014

Significantly, this will be the first time that the TarraWarra Biennial will be curated by a collaborative duo comprising an indigenous and non-indigenous curator, following on from the successful tour of their Asialink Shadowlife exhiKingbition to Taiwan, Singapore, Bangkok and Bendigo in 2012, attracting record numbers.

Together, Mundine and King will bring curatorial flair to the biennial format and their selection of both indigenous and nonindigenous artists for the TarraWarra Biennial 2014 will signify a renewal of cultural heritage and collaboration in Australianart.
