To celebrate NAIDOC Week’s 2025 theme ‘The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy’, 1 Denison has partnered with Art Pharmacy and Sydney gallery, Aboriginal Contemporary, to curate a unique exhibition of remote First Nations’ art from Australia’s central and western deserts.
Keeping Aboriginal culture strong by passing traditional stories from one generation to the next is a driving force for all the artists in this stunning three-month exhibition. Many dreaming stories (tjukurrpa) can only be told through a family line; no one else may paint them.
‘Forever Strong’ showcases both established and emerging artists honouring their culture and sharing it with future-facing creativity. It is a reassuring sign that the next generation of contemporary Aboriginal art is in good hands.
