Free exhibition

Cleverman stormed onto ABC TV in 2016 as a dystopian sci-fi with a difference.

With predominantly Indigenous cast and senior crew, the series explores a series of Aboriginal origin stories in a contemporary context, with political nuance touching on themes of class, racism and power.

Explore Aboriginal storytelling, language and creativity in this free exhibition that invites you to listen-first and immerse yourself in a powerful and contemporary expression of origin stories. Follow an immersive combination of video, audio and objects that showcase the making of Cleverman.

Discover original props, costumes and make-up from the series. Get up close to the bespoke designs by Weta Workshop alongside the artwork from the original comic book series.
