An immersive landscape of vibrant animations from Aboriginal Nations Australia’s The Dreaming series. Featuring large scale projections, three-dimensional art installations the exhibition created an all-immersive visitor experience, with a wide range of hands on activities. Our Dreaming was developed in collaboration with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
