In addition to its Intramuros activities, Fondation Opale is pleased to announce the exhibition Mapa Wiya (Your Map’s Not Needed): Australian Aboriginal Art from the Fondation Opale at The Menil Collection. From September 13th 2019 to February 2nd 2020, Houston’s famous Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art will present more than 100 works by the foundation under a title derived from a recent work by artist Kunmanara (Mumu Mike) Williams, the first showing of his work in an American art museum. His recuperation of official government maps and postal bags is a pointed response to the foreign cartographies of the country of Australian Aboriginal peoples, in which the laws of ancestors are always present, where painfully violent colonial histories are memorialized and where potential futures for these peoples are imagined.
