Join us at Darling Quarter for an unmissable display of all-female, all Indigenous artworks that will kick of NAIDOC Week 2020

Featuring the work of 8 contemporary Indigenous female artists from across Australia - Noni Cragg, Elizabeth Close, Jody Haines, Molly Hunt, Nici Cumpston, Kate Constantine, Bronwyn Bancroft, and Amala Groom - HERE I AM: Art by Great Women will be on show from 8 November until 30 January 2021.

The art will showcase and celebrate their incredible talent through multidisciplinary mediums including photography, illustration, and painting, and covering a diversity of styles such as street art, contemporary and traditional.

This striking large-scale installation comprises four exhibition cubes, with a total of 16 artworks - two for each featured artist - on display at Darling Quarter's outdoor public art space, OPEN, which is accessible free of charge to the general public 24 hours, 7 days a week.
