You are invited to join us at Lismore Regional Gallery for an afternoon opening of Bulaan Buruugaa Ngali Exhibition …we weave together. Join us for an afternoon opening of Bulaan Buruugaa Ngali Exhibition at 1.00pm, followed by a free weaving workshop from 2.00pm, guided by exhibition artists Rhoda Roberts AO, Aunty Janelle Duncan and Tania Marlowe.
In this exhibition, nine ancestral woven objects held in the Australian Museum collection will return to Country for 'Bulaan Buruugaa Ngali ...we weave together'.
These historic pieces stand alongside ten newly commissioned works by contemporary Bundjalung, Yaegl, Gumbaynggirr, and Kamilaroi (Gamilaroi) artists, who have drawn from their great grandmothers’ wisdom to breathe new life into ancient weaving traditions. Featuring Bindimu, Casino Wake Up Time, Janelle Duncan, Madeleine Grace, Lauren Jarrett, Tania Marlowe, Bianca Monaghan, Krystal Randall, Rhoda Roberts AO, Kyra Togo and Margaret Torrens.
An Arts Northern Rivers touring exhibition curated by Kylie Caldwell. This project was made possible by the Indigenous Visual Arts Industry Support Program, the NSW Government through Create NSW, the Dobell Exhibition Grant Program, funded by the Sir William Dobell Art Foundation and managed by Museums and Museums & Galleries of NSW, and the Australian Government through the Regional Arts Fund.
