Some are established ceramic artists, some are reconnecting with the medium after a hiatus, others are incorporating clay into their practice for the first time. All have produced accomplished, insightful, and contemporary works that reflect the culturally and historically rich and complex region where they live and work. The survey was developed by Artback NT to coincide with Apmere Mparntwe, the 16th Australian Ceramics Triennale held in Alice Springs in 2022. The varied works in Clay on Country reflect ancestral stories, contemporary experiences and settler histories alongside the joys and challenges of making with clay, the push and pull of this most tactile of materials. Clay on Country was curated by Jo Foster and Neridah Stockley and is being proudly toured by Artback NT, with the support of Creative Australia, and Visions of Australia. - Textiles of the Janet Holmes à Court Collection CURATOR TALK: 10am-11pm, 7 February 2026 RSVP: https://bit.ly/4t1PTwn The Janet Holmes à Court Collection features thousands of artworks from artists across Australia, with a strong focus on Indigenous works.
