Love, Magic, and Ceremony

Stare at the vibrant swaths, dots, and squiggles in these prints and try to guess which blob means people are having sex. We’re the first in the U.S. to feast our eyes on the sometimes steamy, always stunning images made by the Warlpiri artists of Australia’s Tanami Desert region. All those dots and squiggles translate as ceremonies, love stories, and magic rituals of this aboriginal people; the exhibition is part of a project by which the Warlpiri seek to strengthen “cross-cultural partnerships” between their Outback communities and the rest of the world. 2638 Lyndale Ave. S., Minneapolis; 612-871-1326; www.highpointprintmaking.org
