From the organizer:

Come to an art exhibition Message Stick: Indigenous Identity in Urban Australia. The exhibition features a selection of 21 artworks from the Australian Government’s Artbank collection; it has been displayed in many countries and is currently undertaking a tour in the Asia’s region.

This Message Stick: Indigenous Identity in Urban Australia underlines the vitality, energy and innovation of Indigenous communities and artists. It takes audiences beyond the popular contemporary Indigenous art movement of the Western Dessert to the personal experiences of life in urbanised Australia. Australia is a tolerant and multicultural society that values the traditions, cultures and contributions of people from all backgrounds, including Indigenous people.

Message Stick will be open to the public from 24 May to 13 June 2013 at the Ho Chi Minh City Fine Arts Museum, 97A Pho Duc Chinh St, Nguyen Thai Binh Ward, District 1 (except every Monday).

Entrance fee for Vietnamese 5,000 VND and for foreigners 10,000 VND.
