The Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology is proud to present the results of an extraordinary cross-continental collaboration.

This new collaboration between the University of Cambridge Museums and the Australian Print Workshop brings together three of Australia's most represented contemporary artists Brook Andrew, Tom Nicholson and Caroline Rothwell.

'Museum 1', 2015, by Caroline Rothwell

 

Hosted by the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, the artists travelled to the United Kingdom to study rarely seen and highly significant collections relating to Australia and the Pacific. Exploring the interplay of natural history, empire, art and anthropology each of the artists spent time in the print studio at APW, working in collaboration with APW Printers to produce reflective bodies of work in the print medium.
