Curated by Judy Watson and Diana Young. In the past it was usual to write labels directly onto museum things, securing their classification and number inside a collection.

Much of the material shown here was collected in Queensland. The everyday equipment for Indigenous living is placed amongst used kitchenware, rear-view car mirrors and anthropometric measuring devices creating new relationships and a commentary on the past in the present.
