UNSW Galleries stands on an important place of learning and exchange first occupied by the Bidjigal and Gadigal peoples. It brings together the work of leading Australian and international practitioners, curators, and writers working in the fields of contemporary art and design. UNSW Galleries is a space for the presentation and interpretation of contemporary visual and material culture, and a site for gathering and conversation. The program stresses the importance of learning through exhibition-making, using integrated projects and events across the year to engage audiences in conversation with commentators from a range of disciplines.
