Big Smart: curated reading list by Nicholas Currie
First Nations artist Nicholas Currie (Mulunjali and Kuku Yalanji) has guest curated Incinerator Gallery's current exhibition Big Smart, showing from 12 April–8 June 2025. Nicholas has also curated an exclusive reading list of titles available through Moonee Valley Libraries, which explores the diverse modes of pedagogy within, and from the understandings of, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
Nicholas says his reading list is “curated from a personal love for these pieces of literature. The through line of the texts are that they have been pivotal to my understanding of contemporary Indigenous art and perspective.”

The reserve was named after William Salmon, who planted these trees. He was an early supporter of re-forestation, claiming around the time this photo was taken that "the timber wantonly destroyed since I came to Australia [the early 1880s] would have paid the national debt of the Commonwealth as it stands today". 🌳🐟
