NAIDOC Week Exhibition: 50 Years of Deadly

On Monday 6 July, join us as we celebrate 50 years of NAIDOC with a special exhibition showcasing five decades of official NAIDOC posters. We welcomed community members to celebrate the launch of our special exhibition, "50 Years of NAIDOC."

From Elders who remember NAIDOC's earliest days to our youngest trainees stepping into their own cultural journey, the pride was felt in every conversation and every step through the exhibition.

This year's NAIDOC theme, "50 Years of Deadly," celebrates the people, stories and movements that have shaped the past five decades. It honours the Elders, leaders, artists and communities who have carried the movement forward, while looking ahead to the next generation who will continue to lead with pride, culture and strength.

Our exhibition begins with the very first official NAIDOC poster from 1972, featuring the powerful words, "Advance Australia Where?". As visitors move through the exhibition, they'll journey across five decades of NAIDOC history, discovering the themes, stories and moments that have shaped the movement.

Along the way, they'll meet community members from different generations, each representing the enduring strength of culture and the legacy being carried forward by future generations.

Come and visit Murrook this NAIDOC Week and beyond. Find the poster from your birth year, learn something new, share your story and walk with us through 50 years of resistance, pride, culture and community as we celebrate 50 Years of Deadly.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO WELCOMING YOU ALL.
