GML supports 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale
GML Heritage is proud to support HOME in the Australia Pavilion at this year’s Venice Architecture Biennale as a Network Venice Partner.
Led by Dr Michael Mossman, Emily McDaniel and Jack Gillmer-Lilley, as part of a creative Sphere of First Nations architects and practitioners, HOME will offer an immersive and culturally rich experience shaped by Indigenous knowledge systems and architectural innovation.
At GML, our work in cultural heritage management and conservation is guided by a commitment to learning from and supporting First Nations peoples, amplifying First Nations voices, and fostering the sharing and understanding of First Nations perspectives.
HOME will weave together natural and contrived elements to foster dialogue, knowledge sharing, sustainability and community engagement—deepening connections with Country.
“Home is more than a place—it’s where we belong, where our connections, values, and stories live. For First Nations people, home is inseparable from Country—a living entity of deep spiritual, cultural and historical significance. For migrants, home is an evolving concept, where homeland traditions merge with new experiences—a place of resilience, adaptation, and hope,” said GML CEO, Sharon Veale.
The installation will encourage visitors from across the world to interact and explore the concepts and meanings of home, igniting richer narratives around identity, belonging and the complexities of human experience.
We look forward to deepening our own understandings and supporting the creative team’s journey to Venice!

“Home is a generous and timely offering to the Venice Architecture Biennale that will welcome visitors as active contributors and participants. Through design, enlivened public conversations, cultural practice and ceremony, we will facilitate a shared and collective experience that resonates with international audiences and recognises the criticality of first nations knowledge.”
