Group show featuring Doreen Chapman and a stellar line-up of artists from Western Australia.

Flight: Aboriginal Perspectives from the Sky, co-curated by FORM with Dr Darren Jorgensen, explored Aboriginal peoples’ experience of both literal and metaphysical flight across Country, and featured works from Spinifex Hill Studios, Mangkaja Arts Resource Agency Aboriginal Corporation, Martumili Artists, Papulankutja Artists, Tjanpi Desert Weavers, Tjarlirli Artists, Warakurna Artists, Waringarri Aboriginal Arts, and Warlayirti Artists.

From dreaming stories to the necessity of helicopters when working and living in remote Western Australia, the exhibition told a story of resilience and renewal in the face of rapid technological change. Taking their cue from the fact that Aboriginal painting often demonstrates a mapping of country so detailed and nuanced that it seems to come from an aerial perspective, the artworks explored both traditional and contemporary stories of flying machines, birds, spirits, and Dreaming.
