In her first solo exhibition, Page dives into the ancient and contemporary stories that drive her design process. One of the first Indigenous designers to break into the scene in Sydney in the 90s, her designs have always contributed to a life force that she believes is vital for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous people to connect to Country.From her experiences with the Merrima Aboriginal Design Unit, to establishing the National Aboriginal Design Agency (NADA), Page has always been motivated by a strong entrepreneurial vision and by the ways in which design can shape social and environmental justice for Aboriginal people. From a career that started with a focus on defining ‘what is Aboriginal design’, this exhibition traces her development of a practice that explores how BLAK design can inform and enrich everyday Australian life.Discover her pioneering design through diverse objects, images and films, encompassing interiors, landscapes, public art, furniture, jewellery to coffee makers and a kettle.Exhibition curated by Alison Page and A/Prof Jillian Walliss.AcknowledgementsThis exhibition takes place on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Bunurong peoples.
