Our Story: Aboriginal–Chinese People in Australia

In celebration of Reconciliation Week, join us for the opening of 'Our Story: Aboriginal–Chinese People in Australia', an exhibition that sheds light on the fascinating history of Aboriginal and Chinese relations in colonial Australia.

Through personal accounts, archival photographs and documents, alongside artworks by some of Australia’s foremost contemporary First Nations artists, the exhibition explores themes of identity, survival, resilience and cultural connection, tracing these enduring legacies from the gold rush era to today.

This special event features a panel conversation facilitated by National Museum of Australia First Nations Deputy Director, Dr Jilda Andrews featuring exhibiting artists Gordon Hookey and Jenna Lee along with exhibition curator Zhou Xiaoping.

The exhibition will be open for viewing following the panel discussion.

'Our Story: Aboriginal–Chinese People in Australia' was developed by artist and curator Zhou Xiaoping with the support of the National Museum of Australia and the Museum of Chinese Australian History, Melbourne. The exhibition will be on show from 10 April until 27 January 2026.
