TBIH2023 | Australian Museum: Unsettled

Director of the First Nations Laura McBride and Manager of First Nations Collections & Engagement Mariko Smith, at Australian Museum, talk to TBIH's Sara DeYoung about the Unsettled project. The exhibition was the National Winner at the Museums and Galleries National (MAGNA) Awards in 2022.

Unsettled illuminates the power of truth-telling to realise change. Informed by an extensive community consultation process involving Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples from across the country, the exhibition is an example of a self-determining model of First Nations-led curatorial practice and defined by its prioritisation of First Nations voices during every stage of the project. With eight thematic sections following a chronological, linear structure, it presents a rigorously researched, nuanced narrative with over 190 objects, images and digital displays held in the Australian Museum’s new 1,000sqm basement touring hall space.
