art + soul

art + soul is an Australian cultural project, led by curator Hetti Perkins, that aims to convey the diversity and complexity of Indigenous Australian expression.

The project spans three mediums: an ABC Television documentary series, an exhibition at the Art Gallery of NSW, and an accompanying book published by the Miegunyah Press.

[1][2] The three-part documentary was directed by Warwick Thornton, and first aired on ABC Television on 7 October 2010.

Each part explores Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art, culture, and heritage, according to a certain theme: home + away; dreams + nightmares; and bitter + sweet.
