Join us for the opening of the Once Known exhibition of Carrolup artworks on Menang Country, Albany.About Once Known:
Once Known shares reproductions of fragile artworks created by Aboriginal children stolen from their families and detained at the Carrolup Native Settlement in the 1940s. The exhibition reminds us that each child had a name, a family and a story, and their artworks stand as a testament to their creativity, resilience and enduring connection to Country.
