'Tell: Contemporary Indigenous Photography' explores Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander life, history and culture through a focus on photography and its expanded field. Bringing together new commissions and works by 17 Australian Indigenous artists and collaborators, the exhibition presents a diverse collection of photo-based and photo-inspired works that embrace tradition and culture, as well as the potential that new technologies offer contemporary practice.

Set against a backdrop of social and political discourse, photography is located as a powerful outlet for self-expression and self-determination for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists. The exhibition’s collective narrative simultaneously focuses outward and inward in a cyclic reflection that illustrates stories of experience, history and culture. 'Tell' is a project of reframing and redefining, provoking a deeper understanding of Indigeneity and the complexities that come with this.
