This exhibition celebrates Australians whose unique life experiences symbolise social and cultural forces. Uncompromising individuality defines them. The portraits are drawn from the National Portrait Gallery’s collection of contemporary photography, drawing, and video.

When a portrait communicates determination and individuality as boldly as these do, it has the potential to become an iconic image. For the Gallery’s 20^th birthday this display brings together a group contemporary photographic portraits of inspiring women and men.

Portraits of people who have influenced and contributed to the shaping of Australian society.

We depend on your support to keep creating our programs, exhibitions, publications and building collection.

Throughout 2018 we are celebrating our 20th birthday!
