Ongoing until October 20 at the Ayala Museum is an exhibition of selected works by 11 Australian indigenous artists living in urban areas. The exhibition, entitled Message Stick: Indigenous Identity in Urban Australia, reflects collective and individual experiences and cultural expression in a contemporary urban society.

The exhibition is presented by the Australian Embassy in cooperation with the Ayala Museum, to mark the Philippines’ Indigenous Peoples’ Month. It features selections from the Australian Government’s Artbank collection that are personal, provocative and at the forefront of contemporary art practice. Established by the Australian Government in 1980 as an arts support program, Artbank features a significant collection of publicly purchased works by leading indigenous and non-indigenous Australian artists.
