Australian contemporary arts on show in Hanoi

An exhibition of contemporary Australian arts by Jeremy Donovan and a group of aboriginal artists is being held at the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology in Hanoi from April 17-May 12.
This is part of the Australian Embassy’s programme entitled “Australian gifts for the 1000th Anniversary of Thang Long-Hanoi”.
Visitors to the museum will be inspired by the dance called Didgeridoo performed by Donovan and a group of Australian aboriginals from the State of Queensland.
Also on show are 26 paintings by 18 aboriginal artists from the far reaches of Balgo in the west of Australia whose livelihood comes mainly from hunting in the fierce weather conditions of the western desert.
The 26 acrylic paintings reflect the strong links between the Balgo aboriginals and their traditional customs.
