NAIDOC Week Indigenous Art Illuminations

Celebrate the 2020 NAIDOC Week: See spectacular curated projection of Indigenous art works, vibrant and bold on the National Carillon.

25 Indigenous artists works feature in a series of curated projections on the Carillon, in vibrant and bold colours expressing stories and culture from Aboriginal art centres and communities around Australia. The art work featured has been chosen from over 150 artists participating in the AIATSIS Online Indigenous Art Market. The projections were curated by AIATSIS and the award-winning, The Electric Canvas.

This event is staged by the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS), with sponsor partners, the National NAIDOC Committee, the National Capital Authority (NCA) and the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications.

We honour and respect their ongoing cultural and spiritual connections to this country and the contribution they make to the life of this city and this region. We aim to respect cultural heritage, customs and beliefs of all Indigenous people.
