Dreaming Forward - NAIDOC 2025

Dreaming Forward is a curated exhibition celebrating NAIDOC Week 2025's theme: "The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy." This collection showcases the vibrant expressions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists, reflecting the enduring strength of culture, the visionary perspectives of emerging talents, and the legacy of ancestral traditions. As we commemorate 50 years of NAIDOC Week, Dreaming Forward invites audiences to engage with the narratives that shape Australia's oldest living cultures. Through this exhibition, we honour the past, celebrate the present, and look ahead to a future guided by the strength, vision, and legacy of Indigenous communities.
