The Exhibition explores the layered meanings of ‘beginnings’ from ancestral origins and connection to country, to personal journeys and new directions in creative practice.

‘From Country We Begin’ honours the enduring strength, resilience and cultural legacy of First Nations communities across generations. It is both a celebration of continuity and gathering and an acknowledgment of these voices moving forward for generations to come.
