Recognising NAIDOC Week at HOTA

From a joyful, energetic musical, to stunning contemporary dance to intricate woven artwork in the gallery, there are so many ways to celebrate First Nations culture at NAIDOC week and beyond.

National NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia in the first week of July, to celebrate and recognise the history, culture, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

It’s 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.

At HOTA, we strive to showcase the richness and diversity of Indigenous art, performances, culture, and experiences. Our commitment extends throughout the year, as we work to promote the oldest continuing culture. 

From exhibitions to workshops and performances, there’s countless opportunities to engage with Indigenous culture and deepen your appreciation of its significance.

Come and explore all that HOTA has to offer and discover the beauty and power for yourself.
