PLAYFUL, POIGNANT AND PROVOCATIVE, this exhibition examines the work of contemporary Indigenous artists from Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific. Operating in a zone where the nomadic ideals of the information age meet the paranoiac restrictions of the post-September 11 world, these artists suggest new possibilities for creative dialogue, a dynamic traffic in ideas crossing the often-closed borders of regional politics. Drawing on a range of approaches and photographic media, Traffic articulates the unique movement of cultural perspectives in the Pacific region through what is fast becoming a universal language.
