Acknowledgement of Country

John Curtin Gallery acknowledges all First Nations People of this place we call Australia and recognises the many nations who have looked after Country for more than 60,000 years. We are honoured and grateful for the privilege to operate in Boorloo (Perth) in Australia. We pay our respects to Elders past and present as Custodians and Owners of these lands. We recognise their deep knowledge and their cultural, spiritual and educational practices, and aspire to learn and teach in partnership with them.

Art is as a common language that provides an access point for seeing the world beyond one’s previously held convictions and for deepening one’s understanding.

Support truth-telling

The Carrolup artworks are a crucial common language: they illuminate a dark history and help us better comprehend the impact of intergenerational trauma.

The works also speak to the steadfast resilience of Aboriginal people, against the greatest of odds, and their deep, spiritual connection to Country. Through the artworks, we are committed to working with and for others to share the stories of the Stolen Generations and of other dispossessed peoples through education and community engagement programs.

There are many ways to walk with us on this truth-telling journey.
