Synopsis:

Hetti Perkins, senior curator of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, shares her knowledge of - and passion for - Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art. As we criss-cross the land with her, meeting artists remote, rural and urban, she shares her insights and feelings about them and their extraordinary art. She encourages the artists to tell the stories behind their artworks. Her journey enhances our knowledge and appreciation of Aboriginal art, encourages us to see the world from an Aboriginal perspective and, ultimately, gives us a richer understanding of Aboriginal culture. Hetti Perkins wrote and presents art + soul, a powerful and emotionally engaging television series about contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art, and the artists that create it. With great generosity she shares her extraordinary knowledge of Aboriginal art, visiting the homes and studios of artists in remote desert communities, the tropical top end, and in urban environments. She also brings personal anecdotes to the fore, recalling her family's own story, and her father's legacy.

In ART+SOUL, a major three-part ABC TV series, curator Hettie Perkins takes us on a journey through the artforms and movements of the aboriginal and Torres Strait Island peoples. From ancient rock paintings to Western Desert art and watercolours of the mid 20th-century, and contemporary multimedia artists of today, ART+SOUL reveals the breadth of expression and enduring heritage of indigenous art, its diversity and complexity.

An 'insider's' view of contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art and artists. Charismatic curator Hetti Perkins takes us on a journey of ideas and the imagination - revealing the diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander life and culture.
