Anne Nginyangka Thompson is based at Ernabella Arts in the Pukatja Community, South Australia. Anne’s father was an integral part of the APY Land Rights movement, and her mother Carlene Thompson is a senior Ernabella artist whose work is also in the Artbank collection. Thompson says of her work: Life out bush gave me peace, understanding and self‐confidence. Growing up with it gave me connections to everything. I observe things. I feel the wind breeze through my ears and see trees moving as the wind rushes through it secretly.

‘Peace in the city’ is a vessel shaped like a Chinese ginger jar, which depicts a nocturnal landscape scratched into the surface. Anne says: you can see the city in the distance and that’s where all the noise is. You can see up close that we’re in the park. This story is only for your ears. This is at nighttime. If you’re standing in the city you are only listening to the cars and people walking around and traffic, it’s all about noise. Compare yourself to being in the park – that’s the peace. You find yourself there and its peace. Surrounding yourself with trees. Get out of the technology world. If I’m being quiet, I can think for myself and think about what I need to do next and how to live my life. I can’t do that in the noise and the chaos of the city. I like to be in the nature with the trees where there’s peace.”

This year the theme for National Reconciliation Week is ‘All In,’ asking us all to step away from the sidelines, commit to reconciliation and actively participate in structural and cultural change.

First Nations artists have been sharing truth, history, Culture and Country with us for a long time, with openness, generosity and commitment. This week we encourage everyone to accept this invitation to learn and come together.

Joe Dhamanydji (b. 1960) is a Gupapuyŋu clan man of the Djambarrpuyŋu language group. This work ‘Guku Galanyin (native honey bee hive),’ 2025 depicts a significant cultural symbol, representing identity and knowledge, anchoring individual and group belonging, and defining ways of knowing, doing and being within one’s community.

Artbank would like to acknowledge and thank all the artists in the Artbank collection who share their stories and artworks with us, inviting us all to engage and to come together to make change as individuals and as a community.

‘We are surrounded by oceans’ curated by Salote Tawale Artbank Window Sydney.
In this exhibition Tawale brings together artists from the Artbank collection who have a shared approach to materiality as well as introducing some new artists to the Artbank collection.

Artbank is pleased to announce the acquisition of 3 works by Benjamin Akuila.
Congratulations Benjamin Akuila.

Benjamin Akuila (b.2000) is a multidisciplinary artist of Tongan and Irish descent living and working between Gadigal and Dharug country. Akuila's work explores ideas of cultural authenticity, and identity performances within the Tongan-Australian diaspora through 'Nū Materialities'. Through investigating societal constructs of history, identity, and gender, Akuila utilises humour and heliaki (allusion) with the intention of subverting these agreed notions. Akuila's work reinterprets koloa (Tongan artmaking) and applies these practices to contemporary materials to explore personal and shared narratives of being.

Melbourne Design Week returns 14–24 May 2026, with 400+ events across Melbourne.

As part of this year’s program, RE:BORN explores reimagined beauty - transforming overlooked furniture into new forms through a collaboration between and

More manifesto than display, RE:BORN disrupts assumptions and provokes a shift in perspective around material value: an invitation to pause before discarding, reconsider what already exists, and recognise that the most compelling design doesn’t always begin with something new.

Prioritising local craft and Australian manufacturing, the project embraces a closed-loop approach where considered design and zero waste exist as the same instinct expressed together.

Made possible with the support of our collaborators and partners, we’re grateful to be building this together.

Good luck to our dear friend Thom Roberts for his fifth Achibald Prize!

Thom has painted Artbank’s Oli Watts (George Harrison).

Last year - Artbank invited Thom to curate the Sydney Window gallery – his first time as curator. Titled 'Tower Dog Red Rattler,' Thom brought his unique lens and sense of humour to the Artbank collection.

Roberts has an established practice of renaming everyone he meets. Accordingly, Watts became ‘George Harrison’ from The Beatles. He says he chose the name as Harrison and Watts have the same hair, eyes and beard.

Congratulations Thom Roberts and to all the artists selected as finalists in this year's Archi, Wynne and Sulman
