Healing from Country

July 08, 2025

Healing from Country is our NAIDOC Week exhibition presented by Glenelg Art Gallery in partnership with the St Andrew’s Hospital.

Featuring works by female Aboriginal artists, the show explores the deep connection between Country, healing, and community.

A warm welcome to artists Rhubee Neale, Alison Daniels, Janet Golder Kngwarreye, Dulcie Long Pula, Selina Napaljarri Malbunka, Justinna Sims Napaljarri, Anna Pitjara, and Nancy Lawrie.

Curated with care and cultural insight, the exhibition invites reflection on health and wellbeing through a First Nations lens.

This is the second exhibition Glenelg Art Gallery has brought to St Andrew's, following the success of Ancient Knowledge, Modern Reflections.

All artworks are available for sale, supporting local working artists, with a portion of proceeds also donated to support St Andrew’s Hospital.

About NAIDOC Week

National NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia in the first week of July each year (Sunday to Sunday), to celebrate and recognise the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. NAIDOC Week is an opportunity for all Australians to learn about First Nations cultures and histories and participate in celebrations of the oldest, continuous living cultures on earth. You can support and get to know your local Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander communities through activities and events held across the country.
