NAIDOC Week (3–10 July 2022) is a time for all Australians to celebrate and learn more about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, cultures and histories. This year’s theme asks us to Get Up! Stand Up! Show Up! for First Nations communities.

This week at the Library, be sure to check out our Handmade Universe exhibition to see Dharangalk Biik I Star Country by Mandy Nicholson, a striking textile work of immense scale that ‘transforms the space into a Wurundjeri Universe’ (NITV).
