Sacred Ground Beating Heart presented paintings and prints by Judy Watson, originally prepared by Ted Snell for show in Australia, and extended internationally by Asialink as part of the focus on individual artists’ work. In the exhibition catalogue Snell writes ‘her work speaks eloquently of the suffering of Aboriginal Australians, the massacres, prejudice and disdain, while simultaneously evoking the dignity and achievements of Aboriginal people’. One visitor during its presentation in Vietnam commented: ‘It was one of the best exhibitions we had seen in Ho Chi Minh City in the past few years.’
