The Cross Art Projects foregrounds contemporary work and curatorial projects that reflect the multiple relationships between art, life and the public sphere, and explores the boundaries of this context. We are attentive to the local without sacrificing the scope of Indigenous and international views. Cross Art enhances its projects with conversations, walks and events on contemporary art, urban planning, architecture and heritage.

The Cross Art Projects
In proud collaboration with Buku-Larrnggay Mulka Centre
Stuck between two great cultures who are oblivious to each other gives some odd perspectives. Like a cattle dog at a truckstop you can only squint up at these magnificent mindless machines as they move unpredictably around each other trying not to get squashed.
But sometimes insight comes and you can see an element that helps communicate what the different characters of these juggernauts are.
The Yolngu bury their own.
A simple statement but one that shows a stark difference.
