Unfolding: First Nations Works on Paper is a major exhibition celebrating the diversity and dynamism of works on paper by First Nations artists in the MPRG collection. The exhibition reveals how First Nations artists have used paper as a material to demonstrate a particular kind of strength and permanence – one that holds, carries and expresses identity, body and self, language, connection to Country, history and community.
