After the Rain documents the creative processes of 10 contemporary art projects commissioned for the National Gallery of Australia's major recurrent exhibition dedicated to First Nations art and artists in Australia, the National Indigenous Art Triennial.
This, the fifth iteration, features projects by Thea Anamara Perkins; Blaklash; Aretha Brown; House of Namatjira (with Albert Namatjira, Vincent Namatjira, Hermannsburg Potters and Itja Ntjarra Art Centre); Grace Kemarre Robinya and Yarrenyty Arltere Artists; Naminapu Maymuru-White; Dylan Mooney; Alair Pambegan; Jimmy John Thaiday and Warraba Weatherall.
Edited by the exhibition's artistic director Tony Albert, the publication shares stories of artistic collaborations, longstanding friendships and generational practices from Erub in Zenadth Kes/Torres Strait Islands to Ntaria/Hermannsburg in Central Australia.
Alongside artist profiles, the publication includes commissioned essays addressing legacies, identities and climate change by contributing First Nations writers Bruce Johnson McLean, Jilda Andrews, Daniel Browning and Yessie Mosby. Original portraits of the exhibition's artists by the celebrated Western Aranda painter Vincent Namatjira punctuate a vibrantly illustrated publication.
After the Rain invites readers to engage with First Nations art and artists and acknowledge and celebrate the cultural warriors of the past, present and future.
