Event description

Join us during NAIDOC Week 2024 for an Art Walking Tour exploring some of the incredible Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art On Campus at UQ St Lucia.

Beginning at the UQ Art Museum in front of the monumental 2024 Window Commission Old Girls Yarning in the Night (2024) by Rosella Namok, join a UQ Art Museum Mediator in a relaxed walking tour around campus as they share insights and stories of some of the UQ Art Collection's most incredible works.

Tours will be amplified with a portable PA system. The tour route will involve some light to moderate walking, will be wheelchair accessible and will include some ramps and inclines. The tour will be outside, so please plan accordingly for weather with hats, sunscreen, or umbrellas.

These tours are free and are a part of UQ NAIDOC Week 2024. They are presented by UQ Student Services and UQ Art Museum.

UQ Art Museum is a site for progressive and contemporary creative inquiry. Our work speaks to the distinct context of the Art Museum’s place within the University. We aim to connect each visitor with new ideas in creative practice, and with learning in its many forms.

We collect and exhibit progressive works of art, which stimulate dialogue and debate. We’re committed to opening up dialogue with the faculties, research institutes and centres of the University, and to place education at the core of our activities.

Through our programs we hope to inspire, learn with and connect to our communities both inside and outside the University. We invite you to join one of our events on site to experience a new way to connect with art and ideas.

The University of Queensland (UQ) acknowledges the Traditional Owners and their custodianship of the lands on which UQ operates. We pay our respects to their Ancestors and their descendants, who continue cultural and spiritual connections to Country. We recognise their valuable contributions to Australian and global society.
