Tony Albert: Not a Souvenir

Tony Albert: Not a Souvenir  brings together Albert’s work across sculpture, photography, installation, painting, and assemblage alongside major new commissions. The exhibition takes inspiration from the MCA’s location on Sydney Harbour at Tallawoladah and the surrounding precinct, The Rocks – a profoundly significant site of early colonial contact, now synonymous with tourism and souvenir culture. It considers the commodification and misrepresentation of Aboriginal people and culture, both historically and today, while celebrating survival and cultural pride. 

Tony Albert: Not a Souvenir is guest curated by renowned Indigenous curator Bruce Johnson McLean (Wierdi people) and has been developed in close collaboration with the artist (Girramay, Yidinji and Kuku Yalanji peoples). 

Exclusive to Sydney. 

This exhibition is supported by the NSW Government through Destination NSW.
