...four years, the Paris-trained curator has already helped reshape perceptions of Aboriginal art abroad. As well as assisting with the current Mawurndjul retrospective, now at Hannover's Sprengel Museum in Germany, this year Kohen took the first ever show of Aboriginal art to the Middle East, when "Identity and Country: Contemporary Art from Maningrida" opened at the La Fontaine Centre of Contemporary Art in Bahrain.
