NAIDOC Week 2024: Story feeds the fire of art making - Talk with Rose Murray

John Curtin Gallery 8 Jul 2024 12:30pm-2:00pm

Join us in The Strelley Mob exhibition to hear from Rose Murray, Nyangumarta woman and artist whose work Our families gathered pearl shell is featured in the exhibition. Rose will speak to the ways Aboriginal people tell stories and share their history.

She is a Stolen Generation descendant as her mother was taken from Warrawagine Station and grew up with the first group of Roelands Mission children. The work of the Marrngu artists and teachers at Strelley helped her bridge the gap from living a city life and returning to family and the Pilbara.

This talk is a unique opportunity to listen and learn the stories that underlie The Strelley Mob exhibition.
