un/tethered: connections through storytellers from Papua New Guinea

27 JUNE 2025 - 19 APRIL 2026

Queensland Museum Kurilpa

The un/tethered exhibition brings together the stories of six creative women from the Papua New Guinea diaspora community in Queensland as they explore belonging and connection.

Through objects carefully selected from their homes and the Queensland Museum collection, they examine cultural anchors, adaptations and the quiet ache of distance.

Discover how the evolving nature of identity is woven through all we're tethered to and all we've lost.

This free exhibition, on display at Queensland Museum Kurilpa, coincides with the 50th anniversary of Papua New Guinea's Independence Day.
