Four emerging Indigenous artists from Nagula Jarndu, a women's art centre in Broome, have been selected to present their work at Revealed, an annual Perth showcase of new and emerging Western Australian Aboriginal artists. The artists—including Ebony Pierik—created large-scale silk pieces using hand-carved linocut blocks, now displayed in the main gallery of the Perth Institute of Contemporary Art (PICA). The exhibition, curated by Whadjuk, Balladong and Wilman Noongar artist Zali Morgan, also features a large-scale art market where thousands of works are sold directly to buyers, with 100% of proceeds going to the artists.
This showcase matters because it provides a major platform for emerging First Nations artists, many from remote communities, to gain visibility and launch their careers. For artists like Pierik, the process of creating art is deeply tied to reconnecting with Country, culture, and family, highlighting the healing and cultural significance of their work. Revealed, now in its 18th year, also offers a unique, transparent art market model that ensures artists receive full financial benefit, drawing attention to the diversity of contemporary and traditional Aboriginal art across Western Australia.
