The Nulla Nulla Regional Gallery is proud to host We Were Just Little Boys, a profoundly moving exhibition by Indigenous artist Tace Stevens. This compelling showcase provides an intimate window into a dark chapter of Australia’s history, capturing the resilience and stories of survivors of the Kinchela Aboriginal Boys’ Training Home.
Through hauntingly evocative photographs and a poignant documentary, We Were Just Little Boys brings to life the experiences of the Uncles—men who survived the traumatic years at Kinchela Boys Home.
Stevens juxtaposes contemporary portraits of the Uncles, captured on the grounds of the home, with archival images that once painted an incomplete picture of its history.
The exhibition not only commemorates the 100-year mark since the establishment of the home in 1924 but also sheds light on the survivors' strength, vulnerability, and journey toward healing through their stories.
Stevens is a Sydney-based artist renowned for her raw and authentic approach to photography and film. As an Indigenous woman, her art is deeply personal, rooted in exploring identity and human connections.
