'The national gallery of Victoria marked its 150th birthday in may. in addition to the occasion's dominant narrative celebrating Australia's oldest public art gallery, the NGV also used its milestone to engage with and facilitate broader remembrance of one of Victoria's most important artistic and historical figures—William Barak. Through a series of commissions at NGV's Ian Potter centre, the life and legacy of the wurundjeri leader has been prominently re-presented and re-imagined.' (Source: RealTime website)
