Indigenous Connections. Sidney Nolan's Right of Spring. Photographs by Axel Poignant.

Explore the connections between Aboriginal people in Arnhem Land and 20th century greats: artist Sidney Nolan, choreographer Kenneth MacMillan and composer Igor Stravinsky through the work of award-winning photographer Axel Poignant.

See Poignant’s photographs of Nolan’s set and costume designs for the Royal Ballet’s 1962 production, The Rite of Spring. The exhibition also includes Poignant's photographs of Aboriginal people that partly inspired the break with the traditional interpretation of the ballet.

This is an Art Gallery of NSW touring exhibition.
