(2010, 55 min.) AUSTRALIA
Director: Warwick Thornton (Kaytetye)
Writer, host: Hetti Perkins (Arrente and Kalkadoon)

In the series Art + Soul, which showcases the past 30 years of the Aboriginal art movement in Australia, Hetti Perkins, senior curator of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, criss-crosses the country meeting artists both urban and remote. Home and Away investigates the question, “What does it mean to be 'at home' for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people? Is it where you live, or the 'country' you are exiled from?” and provides a rich encounter with Aboriginal history and culture.
