Ever Present: First Peoples Art of Australia, at Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki is the largest overview of art by First People of Australia artists to be presented in Aotearoa and features work by Julie Dowling. Drawn from the collections of the National Gallery of Australia and The Wesfarmers Collection of Australian Art, Ever Present highlights the diverse peoples and artistic practices across Australia. The artworks included in the exhibition address Australia’s complex histories and challenge stereotypes about First People of Australia.
