In the Saddle – On the Wall is a unique art and digital storytelling project resulting from the collaboration of five Kimberley Aboriginal Art Centres and ABC Open Producers that took place in north west Australia, 2009–14.
It presents major artworks by some of the Kimberley’s most celebrated Indigenous artists alongside short digital stories about their lives. Through these historically significant narratives the exhibition spotlights the contribution of generations of Aboriginal people to the region’s thriving pastoral industry, and their resilience and determination to maintain cultural values and connections to country, despite the industry’s far reaching impact on them.
