Wajarri Yamaji and South African Indigenous artists explore creativity at the intersection of modern science and ancient wisdom.

This exhibition reflects the richness of the Indigenous understanding of the world; an understanding developed by observing the movements of the night sky since ancient times. 

Cosmic Echoes explores how this traditional knowledge resonates in the creativity of living artists who are sharing their insights with scientists working to unlock the secrets of the Universe.
