Wurrdha Marra

Wurrdha Marra is an exhibition space in which familiar works from the NGV’s collection of First Nations Australian art and design are displayed alongside new acquisitions. Presented through a series of changing thematics, the works on display offers a series of visual dialogues as a way to explore how parallel innovations and continuities can continue to inspire new ways of thinking about art. The exhibition includes a display of functional examples of contemporary design by First Nations makers highlighting the fluid definitions of contemporary design. Each of these makers uses their work to explore Indigenous knowledges and technologies, as well as the intersection between identity, First Nations material culture, and science.
