Longing for Home presents works by six Aboriginal artists from across mainland Australia who have documented their melancholic longing for Country, and how that emotion is characterised by both yearning and distance, time and space. Drawn from the Gallery’s collection, their works give voice to many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who desire to return to another time or location, when returning is often no longer possible.
