Our Way: Celebrating Indigenous Art

Our Way explores how Indigenous artists are reimagining storytelling today, expanding on diverse artistic traditions. Guided by cultural knowledge passed down through generations, the artists in this exhibition honour existing practices while pushing creative boundaries.

This exhibition launch event features curator and Eastern Arrernte woman Shanysa McConville, Associate Curator, Indigenous Collections at the University of Melbourne, in conversation with Dr Benjamin Thomas, Trinity's Rusden Curator, Cultural Collections, discussing the exhibition Our Way and the Potter Museum of Art's major new Indigenous exhibition, 65,000 Years: A Short History of Australian Art.

Through collaboration with kin, community and fellow creators, they give voice to lived experiences and honour those who came before. From discarded metals and salvaged materials to paintings, photography, weavings and more, artists from across the country share their connections to culture and Country.
