Bringing together the works of 30 contemporary Indigenous artists, Defying Empire commemorates the 50th anniversary of the 1967 Referendum that recognised Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as Australians for the first time.
The exhibition explores the ongoing resilience of Australia’s Indigenous people since first contact, through to the historical fight for recognition and ongoing activism in the present day.
A National Gallery of Australia exhibition hosted at the Australian National Maritime Museum in Sydney.
