From 2023 to 2026, the Culture Makers program invited artists from across Victoria to collaborate with Museums Victoria and rethink how stories are told in its galleries.
Over four seasons, artists brought their practices, perspectives and community connections into the museum, working alongside curators and staff to create exhibitions, events and workshops that asked new questions of both the museum’s collections and the spaces in which they are held.
This publication emerges from the Culture Makers program, bringing writers and artists into dialogue and extending the work into a digital space. Its aim is opening room for reflection, critique and imagination— documenting what happens when creative practice meets institutional collections and spaces, and why those encounters matter. Across these projects, culture is not only displayed; it is made, shared and grown through participation.
