From outdoor rock art to contemporary exhibitions, there are countless opportunities to immerse yourself in the fascinating art and culture of the Aboriginal people.

At Perth’s Art Gallery of Western Australia (AGWA) and WA Museum Boola Bardip, connect with the vivid art, stories and history of the custodians of the land. The AGWA’s rooftop, with its breathtaking views and 34-metre-long Aboriginal art piece, is not to be missed.

Further afield, discover the spirit of the Aboriginal people in the open-air rock galleries dotted across Western Australia, from the Kimberley’s wilderness to mighty Burringurrah (Mount Augustus) and World Heritage-listed Purnululu National Park.

Bush Garden

Bush Garden
Welcome to this delightful exhibition of 'Bush Gardens'. Selected Aboriginal artists have painted aspects of the bush and its resources - wildflowers, bush foods and medicine plants Aboriginal people have long been nurturers and observers of the natural cycle of life in the bush. Knowledge of flowering plants provides inside information on food resources and bush medicines as well as the location of surface water. Knowing the life cycle of plants helps you understand when the fruits and seeds will be ready to harvest. Hunters need to know that animals attracted to those plants will move towards those areas when the food resources are abundant. The entire flow of life in the bush gravitates around an understanding of the plants that sustain life. Represented artists include Belinda Golder Kngwarreye, Alison Munti Riley, Michelle Possum Nungurrayi, Karen Bird Ngale, Jessie Beasley, Rosemary Petyarre, Rachael Nambula and Katrina Bird Mbitjana.

Noongar Country - Celebrating Continuing Connection to Noongar Boodja

Noongar Country - Celebrating Continuing Connection to Noongar Boodja
Celebrating 25 years of showcasing the vibrant art, culture, and stories of the Noongar people. As we reflect on a quarter-century of creative expression, this year's exhibition, Celebrating Continuing Connection to Noongar Boodja, we come together to honour the deep connection Noongar communities have with their land, history, and traditions. Through this exhibition, we invite you to experience the richness of Noongar culture as told through the eyes of contemporary artists. Each artwork is a testament to the strength, resilience, and beauty of the people, offering insights into their lived experiences and ongoing cultural renewal. Join us in celebrating the power of storytelling, the diversity of Noongar voices, and the enduring significance of Noongar Boodja. This is not just an exhibition; it is a gathering of community, a time for reflection, and a call to acknowledge and celebrate the living legacy of Noongar art.

Balancing Act

Balancing Act
Our story is not one story, but many stories to share. Balancing Act features Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander works of art from the State Art Collection. In this exhibition, you will encounter a vast range of material revealing the wide scope of First Nations truth-telling and art-making practice. Radical observations about the ups and downs of life are placed side by side with expressions of relationships with Custodial Country; the locations and places artists and communities care for, according to their kin and family ties with place. Different versions of history are told, at times emotional and challenging, alongside moments of great beauty and poignancy. Many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists use their cultural production to investigate feelings and unpack ideas around identity in the wake of colonisation. Others use their work as a way to support and express their own grief and healing, as well as to express joy and cultural belonging. Balancing Act invites you to be surprised, delighted and challenged by the stories told through the eyes of First Nations artists and their works of art.
