The dates for NRW are the same each year: 27 May to 3 June. Look through the calendar to see how you can mark NRW at an event near you.

Waranta (We/Us in Palawa Kani) brings together artists Aunty Peta, Cassandra Irwin-Honeychurch, Eleanour McCaffrey, Jordan Christopher, Lataree Patten, Mel Campillos, Milla Morgan, Sandra Burke, Sonia Harrison, and Thelma Beeton for the 2026 National Reconciliation Week theme, “All
In”.
This group exhibition brings together Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander artists and allies to explore expressions of reciprocity and collective artistic expression. Centring the recognition that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have shouldered the burden of championing change and recognition for too long. Waranta invites audiences to consider how we move forward — not passively, but with commitment, respect, and accountability.
Waranta is on display at Harlow Gallery from Wednesday 27th May – Sunday 7th June. Join us for the opening night on Friday 29th May from 6-8pm (all welcome).
