Raised by Wolves

ART GALLERY OF WA

Raised by Wolves is AGWA's vivid response to this year's Festival theme of The Human Family. Exploring non-traditional family groups in today's world, this innovative exhibition brings together historical, contemporary and Indigenous works on paper, sculpture, paintings, video and installation.

The 25 international and Australian artists suggest alternative relationship structures and chart the enticing possibilities and frightening realities of living outside mainstream society.

A visually stunning interactive exhibition, Raised by Wolves offers a rare opportunity for families, teenagers and young adults to examine the human family and explore the roles and expectations each face in today's world.

Recommended for ages 12+
