Press release

We are delighted to invite you to the opening of the exceptional exhibition ‘The Sovereigns of the Memory’, in partnership with the Spinifex Art Project. Immerse yourself in the vibrant world of the Tjtuntjunjara artists, true sovereigns of memory on their land, who remind us of the vital importance of transmission and Aboriginal culture.

 ‘The Sovereigns of the Memory’ is an ode to the authority of these artists, bearers of ancestral knowledge, laws and traditions. Their role as guardians of memory and culture is essential to ensuring that this wealth is passed on to the future.

This exhibition celebrates the profound links between these artists, men and women, and their territory, which is often larger than several European countries. Their art goes far beyond mere creation: they are, men and women, the guardians of a collective memory, princes over landscapes charged with meaning.
