Photographs that highlight under-told and unseen histories of Aboriginal peoples.

Knowing Australia has been known by many names to many peoples, Indigenous Australian artist James Tylor takes an expansive approach to photographing the landscape by incorporating his Kaurna Miyurna knowledge into his practice using both old and new technologies. In Tylor’s hands, photography, once used to survey Aboriginal lands and peoples, becomes a way to indigenize landscapes.

From an Untouched Landscape is Tylor’s first solo exhibition in the United States and was curated by Marina Tyquiengco (Col ’81), the inaugural Ellyn McColgan Assistant Curator of Native American Art at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
