In its 60th anniversary year, Australian Design Centre is proud to present Current: Gail Mabo, Lisa Waup, Dominic White from 30 July to 25 September 2024, showing new and recent work by three powerful and acclaimed First Nations artists. Gail Mabo (Meriam), Lisa Waup (Gunditjmara/Torres Strait Islands) and Dominic White (Palawa/Trawlwoolway) are known for their practices that affirm and continue perpetual connection to their lands, waters and ancestors.

Current highlights and connects each artist’s vital and contemporary multi-disciplinary practices while referencing the passages of water moving along Australia’s eastern coast, between the land and people of Zenadh Kes/Torres Strait in the far north to lutruwita/Tasmania in the south.

Current is a national touring exhibition produced by McClelland with assistance from the Australian Government's Visions of Australia program, the Besen Family Foundation and the Gordon Darling Foundation.
