Against the backdrop of Once Known, this special event invites participants to explore the role advocacy can play in truth-telling, healing, and social change. Through guided discussion and shared reflection, we`ll consider how stories from the past can inspire meaningful action today, and how each of us can contribute to positive change in our communities. Whether you`re already advocating for change or looking for ways to get involved, this is an opportunity to connect, learn, and reflect alongside others. \ud83d\udc9b

It was a pleasure to welcome three incredibly powerful exhibitions, Christopher Pease: Terra Nullius, Reko Rennie: OA_RR and Longing and Hope.

We hope you enjoyed being immersed in the large-scale works from Chris Pease and experiencing Reko Rennie\u2019s phenomenal multi-channel video works.

It was amazing to see so much support for student curators Brandon Clarke, Ruby Cason and Mio Gadon and their specially curated exhibition of Carrolup artworks in Longing and Hope.

If you missed the opening event, don\u2019t worry! All three exhibitions are on show until 23 August. \ud83d\ude4c

\n National Sorry Day is an opportunity for all Australians to learn about and acknowledge the truth of Australia\u2019s Stolen Generations history and the ongoing intergenerational impacts caused by past policies of forced removal.
\u00a0
Lost overseas for nearly 50 years, the delicate and treasured Carrolup artworks offer a rare glimpse into the lives of Stolen Generations children during this dark chapter of our shared history. Their return to Noongar Country in 2013 brought with it an important opportunity for truth-telling and reflection.
\u00a0
We encourage you to discover the story of Carrolup by visiting\u00a0Once Known\u00a0at 139 St Georges Terrace or taking a moment in the Kattidj Nag\u00e3r [Peaceful Quiet Reflection] space at John Curtin Gallery.

Drawing from museum archives and 19th-century colonial landscape painting, this exhibition powerfully transforms a colonial fiction of \u201cnobody\u2019s land\u201d. Pease reworks images that once framed Western Australia as empty and available for settlement, reinscribing Indigenous presence into landscapes through bold Noongar iconography.

\n That`s a wrap! \ud83d\udc4f

A call and response across the ocean, part of Perth Festival 2026, has officially come to an end!

We hope you enjoyed the rhythms, stories and scents of the Indian Ocean, and experienced the reunion of friendships and kin ties severed through transglobal acts of colonisation.

Through immersive installations, film, sound and historical works, A call and response across the ocean taught us of connections across continents and to reflect on the enduring legacies of cultural exchange and resilience.

\ud83c\udf0a Histories do not stay silent.

A huge thank you to everyone involved! \ud83d\udc9b
