Art Meets Film – EMILY: I AM KAM

About

Emily: I Am Kam celebrates the legacy of Australia’s most significant female artist – Emily Kam Kngwarray and explores the power of her work to protect her country, Alhalker. We follow her descendants as they revive awely ceremonies and collaborate on a major retrospective exhibition, helping us gain real understanding of who she was and why she painted, while reaffirming her enduring connection to Country and community. Archival recordings give Kngwarray the opportunity to speak for herself revealing her legacy is so much more than the 3,000 or so paintings she left behind.
