The Aboriginal Memorial

The Aboriginal Memorial is a powerful art installation created by Australian Indigenous artists, consisting of around 200 painted wooden coffins. It commemorates the Indigenous people who died as a result of colonial violence and highlights the ongoing impact of colonization on Aboriginal communities. displayed at the National Gallery of Australia, the installation functions as both a visual remembrance and a call for recognition of Indigenous history, culture, and resilience. It invites viewers to reflect on Australia's colonial past and its continuing effects on Indigenous peoples today.
