NATIONAL ABORIGINES’ DAY TO NAIDOC WEEK
National NAIDOC Week is celebrated across Australia during the first week of July each year, honouring the history, culture, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. A central feature of these celebrations is the annual NAIDOC Week Poster Competition, which invites Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists to submit original artworks responding to the year’s official theme. Since the first poster was produced in 1967, the competition has become an iconic and enduring part of NAIDOC Week.
These posters not only reflect the evolving visual language of Australian political and cultural expression but also serve as a record of the social transformations over the past five decades.
To mark this legacy, a digital exhibition will be presented daily on the City of Perth Urban Screens throughout NAIDOC Week.
