About Tony Albert: Not a Souvenir

Tony Albert: Not a Souvenir is a major exhibition by one of Australia’s leading First Nations contemporary artists.

The exhibition brings together more than 150 works. These include sculpture, photography, installation, painting and assemblage.

Through humour, energy and bold storytelling, Tony Albert reframes popular images of Aboriginal Australia. In doing so, the exhibition turns objects of prejudice into symbols of resistance, resilience and pride.

The exhibition is exclusive to Sydney and is presented at the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia.
