在这里,你可以看到许多正宗的、富有想象力的原住民艺术作品,其种类之多,出人意料。你会明白原住民艺术为何会在国际舞台上占据如此重要的地位。
如今,原住民艺术价格高昂,在世界各地的艺术馆都可以见到相关藏品。在凯瑟琳的艺术馆,你将有机会见到这类艺术品,其种类之多,令人瞠目结舌。你还可以观看艺术品制作流程,聆听与其有关的故事。这些艺术馆致力于培养新锐人才,并以符合伦理道德的方式弘扬原住民艺术;因此,艺术馆的收入中有一大部分又被投入原住民社区,或者为本土艺术家置办场所、设备。
艺术和手工艺品
在乌古拉部落(Wugularr)的贝斯威克(Beswick)原住民社区,有一个甘曼恩文化中心(Ghunmarn Culture Centre),这里不仅出售艺术品、珠宝和手工制品,还永久收藏了一些作品,它们在文化和历史方面都有重要的价值。在市区的迪吉平艺术馆(Djilpin Art Gallery),也展出了来自甘曼恩文化中心的作品。迪吉平艺术馆还收藏了周恩、沃皮瑞和达更曼原住民艺术家的作品,以及来自阿纳姆地(Arnhem Land)、中西沙漠(Central Western Desert),甚至西澳某些地区的艺术作品。许多迪吉里杜管、手工制品和画作是在艺术馆当场制作的,有人购买后,它们会被发往世界各地的客户手中。
讲述故事和艺术支持
米米原住民艺术与手工艺品馆(Mimi Aboriginal Arts and Crafts)是由原住民出资并运营的艺术馆。这里有种类繁多的艺术品,体现了传统和现代艺术风格。它也为当地艺术家提供了一个有利的环境,在他们之中,有许多人在这里同游客互动,通过讲述故事,介绍他们部落的历史和遗产。艺术品出售后,收入有一半归创作者所有,剩下的则用于运营艺术中心。
文化交流
在通往凯瑟琳峡谷(Katherine Gorge)的途中,有一片美丽的丛林,顶级迪吉艺术馆(Top Didj and Art Gallery)便坐落其中。这里有种类繁多的迪吉里杜管和艺术品可供欣赏,游客还有机会参与“文化之旅”,该行程是在本土艺术家带领下进行的,他们均来自凯瑟琳和红土中心地区(Red Centre Regions)。你可以浏览艺术品、听故事,并参加由原住民艺术家教授的本土绘画技巧课程。
