I AM | A New Exhibition Celebrating First Nations Artists at AGWA

The Art Gallery of Western Australia (AGWA) is proud to announce I AM, a major new exhibition celebrating the depth, diversity and creative strength of Aboriginal artists, featuring a significant selection of new, recent and rarely seen works from the State Art Collection.

I AM brings together over 60 works by First Nations artists from across Australia and centres on personal and shared stories that elevate Aboriginal knowledge and perspectives on the world and our place in it. I AM reflects the dynamism of Aboriginal art, from deeply rooted traditions to bold contemporary expression.

Kedela wer kalyakoorl ngalak Wadjak boodjak yaak.

Today and always, we stand on the traditional land of the Whadjuk Noongar people.
