Echoes Unveiled: Art by First Nations Women from Australia

24 June [Tue] - 21 September [Sun], 2025

About this exhibition

Art by First Nations people from Australia is being given more importance and exposure than before as part of the recent international trend in contemporary art to reconsider works created in deeply rooted regional contexts. Moreover, within the Australian contemporary art world, many women artists with First Nations backgrounds are becoming renowned and have established international acclaim. In 2006, the Ishibashi Foundation held an exhibition of contemporary Australian art and has been continuing to collect in that field ever since. This exhibition is our first to focus on Aboriginal women artists. Through the work of seven artists and one collective, four of whom have works in our collection, we introduce the diversity of contemporary artistic expressions and seek a deeper understanding and awareness of First Nations art from Australia.
