White walls, neon writing, clean lines: the MEG’s new exhibition The Boomerang Effect. The
Aboriginal Arts of Australia welcomes its visitors in a space evocative of a contemporary art
gallery. Here the MEG unveils one of its finest collections and reveals the wealth of indigenous
Australia’s cultural heritage. Visiting this exhibition, we understand how attempts to suppress
Aboriginal culture since the 18th century have ended up having the opposite of their desired
effect.
