The Mates Collection is an historic collection of photographs by Kevin Shaw , an Australian anthropologist and artist living and working in the Kimberley for the last nearly twenty years.
Kevin Shaw has officially entrusted AILAE with the responsibility to be custodian of the Mates Collection here in Europe to provide opportunities for the collection to be known and to travel around Europe in a variety of spaces. Mates is also a significant book, published in Australia in 2003 as well as an exhibit that has traveled Australia between 2004 and 2005. Mates, recently present in the Imagined Australia event of 2007 in Prato,Italy, is of historic relevance for many reasons.
