This selection of contemporary paintings by artists from across Australia, including First Nations artists and those who call Central Victoria home, highlights diverse natural environments, unique cultural practices, and shared artistic traditions. Embedded with stories of place, they illuminate personal, spiritual, and cultural relationships with ancestral stories, homelands, and the rhythms and rituals of daily life within families and communities.
Through distinct visual languages, these works reflect deep connections to Country and locality. Drawing on cultural knowledge, sacred landforms, ancestral wisdom and personal experiences, the artists explore physical and inner journeys with a focus on preservation for future generations. These works embody care and stewardship, and the enduring bond between people, land, and tradition. Together, they offer reflections on how the stories and environments that sustain us are carried across generations, shaping identity, community, and belonging.
