Ngali Dullan – We Remain

The Ngali Dullan – We Remain exhibition at the North Stradbroke Island Museum on Minjerribah is an organisation-altering initiative that showcases the rich Quandamooka culture and history, making it worthy of receiving a Highly Commended in this category. Since opening in June 2024, the exhibition has transformed the Museum’s entrance into a vibrant space that immerses visitors in the enduring legacy of the Quandamooka people. 

Led by the Museum’

s administrative manager and supported by the Quandamooka Committee, this project exemplifies a commitment to reconciliation and cultural respect. It features interpretive mapping by nationally acclaimed Quandamooka artist, Megan Cope, and works by local artists, all of which authentically represent Quandamooka stories and artefacts.
