The Venice Biennale showcased a variety of Indigenous artists globally, highlighted by Archie Moore, who won the Golden Lion. The event’s theme, Strangers Everywhere, emphasized the position of Indigenous artists within their own cultures. In the aftermath, initiatives like Tate’s fund for Indigenous art collections have launched, alongside upcoming exhibitions in London. Despite the current excitement, some curators express caution regarding the longevity of this trend, suggesting an awareness that the spotlight on Indigenous art may not last forever, yet hoping for sustained recognition and opportunity for these artists.
After last year's Venice Biennale showcased Indigenous art globally, there are concerns about whether this newfound recognition will be sustained over time.
Indigenous artists have taken center stage at major events, leading to initiatives like Tate's fund for increasing Indigenous representation in art collections.
The theme of Strangers Everywhere acknowledged the Indigenous artist's experience, often feeling like a foreigner in their own land, highlighting a crucial societal issue.
While there's enthusiasm for the current momentum, some experts remind us that trends in art can be fleeting, urging to cherish this recognition while it lasts.
