This exhibition project has been planned, researched, and developed on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri and Boon Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation. As the curator, I acknowledge and pay my respect to their Elders past, present and emerging, and extend that respect to the wide-ranging traditional lands on which the included artists live, work and create.

I encourage you to take a moment to also acknowledge the Country on which you are currently viewing this exhibition from today.
