2025 NAIDOC PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION: Dhurranmay-Gal Dhirrabuu
Saturday 5 July - Sunday 13 Oct. from dusk till 10pm
Dhurranmay-Gal Dhirrabuu pays tribute to, the Outstanding Leaders from our First Nations Community. Photographers Danny Dalton, Tess Reading, Jordan Barber and Josh Turner are well known First Nations photographers in the Tamworth region with a passion for capturing special moments and highlighting the positive qualities of individuals, families, and community. The Outstanding Leaders were nominated by members of the community, to acknowledge their commitment and ongoing contribution to Tamworth and the Kamilaroi/ Gomeroi Nation.
Our Outstanding Leaders have a deep understanding of community issues, have in their own ways brought community members together, broadened networks to draw on for input and support.
NAIDOC Week marks a powerful milestone: 50 years of honouring and elevating Indigenous voices, culture, and resilience. The 2025 theme, "The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy," celebrates not only the achievements of the past but the bright future ahead, empowered by the strength of our young leaders, the vision of our communities, and the legacy of our ancestors.
We want to highlight the amazing role our youth and younger people play in our futures. They are our strength; they provide our vision through their ongoing work with Elders in their own communities and they are responsible for future legacies.
NAIDOC Week, which first began in 1975, provides 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.
We acknowledge our Elders, our youth, our artists, our teachers, our knowledge sharers, and our carers. We honour their contribution; we recognize their efforts and give thanks for their achievements and their strong spirit.
