Australian artists take the global stage
Collection: MCA x Tate showcases Australia’s recent and ancient cultural histories through a First Nations lens. The exhibition brings together works from 32 Australian artists and features key works from the 2015–2022 MCA and Tate International Joint Acquisition Program.

Following the success of A Year in Art: Australia 1992 at Tate Modern, which welcomed over a million visitors, this presentation conceived for the MCA reframes the co-acquired works by 31 artists for an Australian context, and a focus on themes of transnational exchange, land migration, memory and continuity.

Artists include: Vernon Ah Kee, Christopher Bassi, Paddy Bedford (Nyunkuny), Richard Bell, Gordon Bennett, Daniel Boyd, Elisa Jane Carmichael, Frances Djulibing, Bonita Ely, Janet Fieldhouse, Gunybi Ganambarr, Helen Ganalmirriwuy Garrawurra, Melba Gunjarrwanga, Rosina Gunjarrwanga, D Harding, John Hughes, Helen Johnson, Mabel Juli, Peter Kennedy, Anchor Kulunba, Gail Mabo, Kyra Mancktelow, Noŋgirrŋa Marawili, Ricky Maynard, Hayley Millar Baker, Balang John Mawurndjul AM, Yhonnie Scarce, Darrell Sibosado, Garry Sibosado, Shireen Taweel, Ken Thaiday Snr, Esme Timbery and Judy Watson.
