NAIDOC stands for National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee. Its origins can be traced to the emergence of Aboriginal groups in the 1920′s which sought to increase awareness in the wider community of the status and treatment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians.
Each year, the National NAIDOC Committee select a national NAIDOC theme to reflect significant and relevant topics to raise awareness and promote opportunities for education and celebration of the world’s oldest living culture.
This is a collection of NAIDOC Week posters from 1972 to the present.
For this exhibition there is also a community panel discussion on July 11. Join panel faciliatator Haydyn Bromley and panellists explore the history, purpose and how the NAIDOC Week posters support NAIDOC themes.
