Aboriginal Art on Grounds at the University of Virginia

Описание: This video explores two exhibitions of Aboriginal art on the campus of the University of Virginia (aka UVA Grounds): "The Inside World: Contemporary Aboriginal Australian Memorial Poles" at The Fralin Museum of Art and "Munguyhmunguyh: Forever" in the University of Virginia Rotunda, a UNESCO world heritage site. It looks at how UVA students were impacted by these exhibitions and it follows artists Gabriel Maralngurra and Joe Guymala from Injalak Arts as they visited UVA to share their art and culture.

The Kluge-Ruhe Aboriginal Art Collection of the University of Virginia is the only museum outside of Australia dedicated to the exhibition and study of Indigenous Australian art. Whether onsite or online, we aim to amplify Indigenous perspectives and foster inspirational cross-cultural experiences to deepen appreciation and understanding of our shared humanity. We believe the most inspiring journeys are personal, immersive, uplifting and enlightening, with twists and turns we can’t predict. We provide platforms for you to chart your own path as you explore our unique collection of art and stories that are embedded with deep historical and cultural significance.

We are located in Charlottesville, Virginia and came to exist through the generosity of two prominent American collectors, Edward L. Ruhe and John W. Kluge. To learn more, visit us at kluge-ruhe.org
