‘Dedicated to the Dedicated: Whitlam, the Arts and Democracy’ was an exhibition commissioned and held at the Margaret Whitlam Galleries, the Whitlam Institute. The exhibition featured the first public display of a unique collection of artworks gifted to Gough and Margaret Whitlam in 1979, in recognition of the Whitlam Government’s landmark support for the Arts in Australia.

Working collaboratively with an external curator, I designed the exhibition collateral including the branding, a series of interpretive panels, environmental banners, and program booklet.
A stand-out feature of the exhibition design were four large ‘S’ shaped banners joined together to take up one wall of the exhibition space. The design featured quotes from speeches made by Gough Whitlam, and encouraged visitors to walk through and engage with the space.
Dedicated to the Dedicated: Whitlam, the Arts and Democracy has exhibited at the following galleries:
