Cultural Medicine: The Art of Indigenous Healing
This exhibition follows the premise of Tjukurrpa (dreaming). It looks at traditional Indigenous healing practice as past, present and future simultaneously. It presents examples of healing practice from the many distinct and varied Indigenous communities throughout Australia through contemporary art practice.
In 2015 the Medical History Museum began collecting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art that depicted bush medicine and healing practices culminating in a major exhibition The art of healing: Australian Indigenous bush medicine in 2018 that toured internationally to London and Berlin.
