4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art

4A Center for Contemporary Asian Art

4A pays respect to the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, the traditional owners of the land where our Centre stands.

A daytime photo featuring the central dome of Brighton Pavillion (a building in the style of Indian architecture of the 19th century). On it warps a mural of a three-headed furry lilac desi-punk-dyke deity. Their similarly cropped and bespactled heads look up at two warped blue eyes gushing white tears and red blood against a bright, graphic design of birds and landscapes. A necklace of moustached heads swings over their three breasts, their desi-punk-patched black jeans and Doc Martens boots. Six arms hold black yarn, swiss army knife, tarot card, red dustpan, soup ladle, and book. They stand on a chunky title ‘Kali Ka Choti Behen’ with the rivers of tears and blood crossing over within the letters.

4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art would like to acknowledge the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, the traditional custodians of the land on which we live, work and create. We recognise the enduring connections between First Nations people and the land, waters, culture and communities that have existed for over 60,000 years. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging. Always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.
