Join us in celebrating the opening of MAC yapang’s new exhibition, Truth Tell.

Truth Tell is an exhibition in celebration of upholding Truth Telling as part of Reconciliation Week 2025. 2025’s Reconciliation Week theme is Bridging Now to Next.

Drawing inspiration from First Nations perspectives, Penny Evans, Julie Gough, Shellie Smith, James Possum Tylor and Peta Clancy uncover and re-present conflicting histories, while paying homage to the ongoing resilience and strength of Aboriginal communities.

By acknowledging the ongoing effects of colonisation, this exhibition aims to inspire conversations that foster understanding, empathy, and collective responsibility.

Curated by Shellie Smith, Lily Hodgson and Jasmine Kean.
