Coo-ee Art Gallery, one of Australia’s oldest galleries dedicated to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art and artefacts, is celebrating a big anniversary by returning to its roots.

Now based in Bondi, the gallery is marking its 35th birthday by heading back to where it all began on Oxford Street in Paddington.

The pop-up exhibition, curated by Coo-ee’s founding director Adrian Newstead and his fellow director Mirri Leven, will celebrate some of the achievements in indigenous art by Coo-ee and its exhibited artists over the last four decades and beyond.
