Our Way celebrates how Indigenous artists are reimagining storytelling today. Guided by cultural knowledge passed down through generations, the artists honour long-standing practices while pushing creative boundaries.

Featuring more than 30 works, from paintings and weavings to photographs and works made of salvaged materials, the exhibition reflects lived experience and deep connections to culture and Country.

Curated by Shanysa McConville and Dr Benjamin Thomas, Our Way is presented by the University of Melbourne’s Potter Museum of Art and Trinity College.

Our Wayhas been conceived as a companion to the Potter’s current exhibition 65,000 Years: A Short History of Australian Art. It expands on a shared conversation around cultural continuity, identity and Indigenous sovereignty at the heart of First Peoples’ artistic practice and traditions.

Visitors are invited to move between both exhibitions to draw connections across artists, practices, materials and generations.

Our Way brings together works from the University of Melbourne Art Collection, the Indigenous Art and Culture Collection and the Trinity College Art Collection.
