This online exhibition Without Classification: Hazel Hawke is based on the exhibition of the same name which was jointly organised by the John Curtin Prime Ministerial Library (JCPML) and the John Curtin Gallery with Guest Curator, Margaret Moore. The exhibition was presented from 26 September to 10 November 2002 at the John Curtin Gallery, Curtin University of Technology, Bentley, Western Australia and brought together important material from the Hazel Hawke records held at the JCPML with distinguished examples of poster art in Australia.

Through a compilation of sound, video, photographs, documents, posters and graphics from newspapers, the aim of the exhibition was to offer parallels between themes in Hazel Hawke's presentations during her time in the Lodge with the messages and persuasions of poster art of that time.
