Inspired by Bruce Pascoe’s bestselling book Dark Emu (2014), the exhibition ‘Seeds and Sovereignty’ draws artworks from QAGOMA’s Indigenous Australian Art collection to explore the deep knowledge and relationships Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have developed and sustained with plants and Country over millennia.

‘Seeds and Sovereignty’ is on display in GOMA’s Gallery 3.5 from 2 March to 8 September 2024.
