Abstract
Beginning in 2006, 'Our Mob' is an annual exhibition and event at the Adelaide Festival Centre showcasing a diversity of artforms and practices by South Australian (SA) Aboriginal artists. It champions traditional and cutting edge Aboriginal art, established and emerging community artists, and blurs the lines between these dichotomies. Our Mob gives voice to all artists. The only criterion for participating is that you have to be an Aboriginal artist living in South Australia. It celebrates artists' cultures and their stories and presents a great variety of individual expressions embracing the diversity of lived experience of SA Aboriginal people. Our Mob shatters some commonly held mainstream expectations around Aboriginal art and cultures by testing audience perceptions.
