The Art of Healing: Australian Indigenous Bush Medicine by Jacqueline Healy

The ‘Art of Healing’ gift range illustrates Indigenous healing methods of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and is drawn from selected works from the University of Melbourne Medical History Museum collection.

The exhibition ‘The Art of Healing: Australian Indigenous Bush Medicine’ explored the enduring presence and evolution of Indigenous medicine, and presents, through contemporary art, examples of specific treatments and broader approaches to healthy living from across Australia. It affirms that traditional healing is thriving—an intrinsic part of the lives of many Indigenous communities.
