Our NAIDOC Week 2025 collection features our talented collaborating artists' reflection on and response to this year's theme ‘The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy’.
Bidjara artist Sheri Skele’s rich artwork honours Elders who ignite cultural pride and leadership in young people, shaping a strong and empowered future.
Crafted from high-quality ceramic, this 11oz (325ml) mug is designed for both style and function. With a glossy, locally printed finish, it brings First Nations art into your daily routine, whether you're enjoying a morning coffee or winding down with tea. Proudly printed in-house at our Meanjin studio, we prioritise local production to support jobs and training within our community.
“This year’s theme celebrates the achievements of the past and the bright future ahead, empowered by the strength of our young leaders, the vision of our communities, and the legacy of our ancestors.” - National NAIDOC Committee 2025

A Bright Future
This artwork represents a story of our Elders and how through storytelling and yarning circles a fire has been ignited in today’s youth who have been passed the torch and will continue to pave a promising future for all Indigenous Australians.
Our Elders have a lifetime of wisdom and experience to share and have been collectively advocating for better conditions for Aboriginal people for a very long time. Their diverse perspectives and lived experiences are now embedded in todays youth leaders, in communities, and in our people who will continue to fight for the legacy of our ancestors and empower the younger generations to continue to create space for Aboriginal people and celebrate our achievements and bright future ahead.
