First Nations Art from the Collection: Walking Tours
Join UQ Art Museum during NAIDOC Week 2026 for an art walking tour exploring some of the incredible Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artworks in the UQ Art Collection.
Hosted by UQ students from the UQ Art Museum team, this tour will explore this year’s NAIDOC Week (5 - 12 July) theme, 50 Years of Deadly, which champions honouring and elevating Indigenous voices, culture and resilience.
You will visit and learn about artworks located across four locations on the St Lucia campus. All artworks are by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists, including Richard Bell, Rosella Namok, Fiona Foley and more. The tour will involve light to moderate walking, with portable stools and wheelchair accessible routes available throughout.
Tours run for approximately 60 minutes.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander visitors are advised that tour discussions and artworks may contain names of people who are deceased. In these circumstances families of the artists have granted permission for these works to be displayed and discussed at UQ St Lucia.
Tours will take place on Wednesday 8 July and Friday 10 July.
Two sessions held each day from 10.30am-11.30am and 1pm-2pm.
The tour will involve light to moderate walking, with portable stools and wheelchair accessible routes available throughout.
