Exploring the influence Australian and Aboriginal artists have had in shaping our culture and understanding, A Time and a Place: Landscapes from the Griffith University Art Collection features contemporary and historical artworks acquired since the early 1980s. The exhibition aims to engage and reflect diverse art histories and visual languages through the lens of Griffith University Art Collection, analysing how it exemplifies ideas related to particular moments in time. A Time and a Place pays tribute to the enormous contribution made by artists in challenging and effecting transformation in our narratives and perspectives in respect of the land.
