Curated by Dr Paola Balla
Artists: Paola Balla, Aunty Gina Bundle, Peter Waples-Crowe, Aunty Marlene Gilson, Kait James, Laura Thompson, Coree Thorpe

The Victorian Government is in the process of negotiating a Treaty with a number of First Nations clans across, what today is called, the state of Victoria. It will be the first state based Treaty created with First Nations people and is considered by many as long overdue. What does this mean, How is it being managed? Is it what everyone wants? TREATY is an exhibition that will unpack these questions, engaging with the work of six First Nations artists for whom sovereignty is fundamental to their work and lives.
