SmithDavidson Gallery has partnered with London-based Unit gallery to present “Tjukurrpa: The Dreaming,” an exhibition timed to the Tate Modern survey of Emily Kam Kngwarray (1910–1996). The show, on view through August 17, 2025, highlights Kngwarray's work alongside pieces by Warlimpirrnga Tjapaltjarri, Makinti Napanangka, and Paddy Nyunkuny Bedford. Founders David Smith and Gabriëlle Davidson, who have collected Australian First Nations art since 2006, describe how their gallery transformed from a focus on 19th-century European and Impressionist art to a dedicated program for Modern and Contemporary Australian Indigenous art, with ethical standards that benefit artists' communities.
