Since the late 20th century, opportunities to engage with Australian Aboriginal art, its makers and their communities have increasingly informed Western approaches to art-making. roads cross explores how this development has left traces and echoes in recent Australian art in terms of subject matter and direct collaboration, formally or conceptually, and in the language of aesthetics and ideas. More broadly, the project underscores the important place of art as means of dialogue and platform for greater understanding between Australia's Indigenous and settler peoples.
