The journey through the exhibition began with the word Gadi powerfully displayed in yellow on a red wall, surrounded by black silhouettes of the gadi (grass trees), in homage to the emblematic colours of the Aboriginal flag.
The centre piece in the exhibition was a display from archaeological digs and was curated for the first time by an emerging Aboriginal archaeologist.The displays clearly expressed the humanity of their makers. The proximity of their place origin was a stark reminder of whose land this is and the endurance of the Gadigal people.This exhibition is a First Nations-led response to the colonial impact and a place to share custodial stories.The exhibition was an active space. Aboriginal people and visitors spent time together, weaving, both physically and metaphorically, their mutual stories, cultures and experiences.
