Current: Gail Mabo, Lisa Waup, Dominic White

Curated by McClelland

Saturday 27 January 2024 – Thursday 7 March 2024
Upper & Little Galleries, Level 2

Current features newly commissioned and recent work by three First Nations artists, Gail Mabo (Meriam), Lisa Waup (Gunditjmara/Torres Strait Islands), Dominic White (Palawa/Trawlwoolway). Their work affirms their powerful connection to their lands, waters and ancestors. The exhibition highlights the three vital and contemporary multidisciplinary practices and references the movement in the passages of water along the eastern coast of Australia connecting land and people of the Torres Strait in the far north to Tasmania in the south.

Curated by McClelland.
