Following the successful launch of the Outdoor Gallery during National Reconciliation Week in 2017, this exhibition will feature artwork created by University of Melbourne Indigenous students. The New Student Precinct Project team are proud to present this exhibition in collaboration with the Wilin Centre and student-led group Indigenous dance group Spreading the Fire.
