Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander nations boast a rich history of creative expressions that serve to preserve identities through storytelling, painting, song, dance, wood and rock carving. To keep storylines, both traditional and contemporary continuously alive, practicing culture remains true to this day.

Aboriginal ways of knowing and transmitting knowledge are encoded in creative cultural expressions. Munro’s work surveys the intricate philosophy embedded in Aboriginal cultural practice and mark-making.

Philosophies of the Anaiwan draws from Munro’s heritage, the Anaiwan nation of the New England Tablelands. Munro invites viewers to consider the mark-making in all forms in this exhibition as the living voices of his ancestors and extends a warm welcome to consider these works as an invitation into his family’s timeline.

Philosophies of the Anaiwan will be showing at University Gallery from 1 May till the 28 June. Join us with the artist for the launch of the exhibition on 18 May at 2pm.
The Gallery is open from Wed-Fri from 10am – 5pm and Sat 12-4pm
