Indigenous art exists as part of a continuum where old meets new, where materialities clash, and perspectives collide.

Indigenous Art: Moving Backwards into the Future is an interdisciplinary exhibition that features more than 100 of the finest Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander works from the NGV collection.

This multi-disciplinary collection display continues the Melbourne Now focus on contemporary Indigenous art practice, but expands the compass from greater Melbourne to the length and breadth of Indigenous Australia.

The new Indigenous exhibition demonstrates the physical, spiritual and ecological importance of the four elements of nature to Indigenous people. Using the four architecturally discrete spaces of the Indigenous ground-floor galleries, each space is devoted to describing the Dreaming associations and Ancestral narratives related to fire, water, earth and wind across media.

Australian ceramics of the past two decades have consistently reflected the astonishing diversity in style and philosophy which is manifest in the international movement.

Landfall was one of three exhibitions the NGV held in 1970 to mark the bicentenary of James Cook’s first landing in Australia and the associated 1970 Royal Visi

This important exhibition celebrates the use of an introduced medium, which has encouraged a daring break with tradition in contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art.
