Current: Gail Mabo, Lisa Waup, Dominic White

In its 60th anniversary year, Australian Design Centre is proud to present Current: Gail Mabo, Lisa Waup, Dominic White from 2 August to 25 September 2024, showing new and recent work by three powerful and acclaimed First Nations artists. Gail Mabo (Meriam), Lisa Waup (Gunditjmara/Torres Strait Islands) and Dominic White (Palawa/Trawlwoolway) are known for their practices that affirm and continue perpetual connection to their lands, waters and ancestors.

Current highlights and connects each artist’s vital and contemporary multi-disciplinary practices while referencing the passages of water moving along Australia’s eastern coast, between the land and people of Zenadh Kes/Torres Strait in the far north to lutruwita/Tasmania in the south.

Current is a national touring exhibition produced by McClelland with assistance from the Australian Government's Visions of Australia program, the Besen Family Foundation and the Gordon Darling Foundation.
