Bunbury, WA

We are excited to announce the next stop for Gulgawarnigu will be Bunbury WA. Having made its way from the National Portrait Gallery in Canberra, back home to Roebourne and then Karratha, we are happy to bring this exhibition of rolling portraits and landscapes to another great part of WA.

The original exhibit was made through NEO-Learning and the Digital Lab in Roebourne. We are currently adding works by local young artists as the exhibition travels so that families and communities can encourage and celebrate their own young people as well as the young artists of Roebourne, marvelling at the use of modern technologies and software to tell their stories.

Details are to be confirmed, but we encourage you to save the date!

Regional Western Australia 

Tjaabi – Flood Country is a celebration of country and culture in song, word and vision.

Tjaabi – Flood Country features the tjaabi song form, which is unique to the First Nations peoples of the Pilbara. A tjaabi is like a musical haiku, with crisp poetic language, capturing stories, dreams, thoughts and moments, which can be funny, profound or wistful.

Patrick entwines this tjaabi tradition with his powerful family story in this beautifully rendered journey of cultural and personal discovery.

Postponed till 2026
