Within Australian history there lies a relatively unknown and largely unacknowledged chapter. While many Aboriginal-Chinese people can trace their heritage back to the Australian gold rushes of the 1850s, mass underrepresentation has led to a lapse in the nation’s awareness of this cultural alliance. Our Story: Aboriginal Chinese People in Australia, brings the history between two of the world’s most ancient cultures to light.
Our Story‘s eight featured artists explore themes of connections, identity, family and prosperity with Emeritus Curatorial Fellow, Margo Ngawa Neale, as the exhibition’s Indigenous curatorial adviser. Neale notes the exhibition’s truth-telling power.
