Richard Bell – Embassy
Presented as part of Tarnanthi, the Art Gallery of South Australia’s acclaimed celebration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art, Embassy by Richard Bell is inspired by the Aboriginal Tent Embassy, the protest camp set up 50 years ago on the lawns of Parliament House in Canberra. This installation, exhibited on the AGSA forecourt, will provide a platform to challenge preconceived ideas and stereotypes about Aboriginal people, art and culture, with critic Terry Smith describing Embassy as, “Dedicated to promoting Indigenous sovereignty on a worldwide basis.”
