Running as part of NAIDOC Week celebrations, the exhibition at the Foundry Arts Space closes on Sunday, July 12.
Yorta Yorta woman Vicki Walker, who has been organising NAIDOC Week exhibitions at the Foundry for 15 years, said the 2026 showcase focuses exclusively on men.
“In 2025, we did all women, so this year we are doing all the men, with an exhibition called ‘Our heroes, way more than 50 years deadly’,” Aunty Vicki said.
“We think our men, going back, have been deadly for way longer than that.’’
Community involvement forms a central part of the exhibition, with local male artists contributing works in various mediums.
Students from St Joseph’s College will also take part through workshops and performances, with one student performing on the Yidaki during the opening night.
‘Our heroes, way more than 50 years deadly’ is on at the Foundry Arts Space, 13-17 Murray Esplanade, Echuca, until Sunday, July 12.
The exhibition is open until July 12.
