Local artist and proud Bundjalung woman Dr Bronwyn Bancroft AM will be joining Kylie Caldwell in conversation with Kyra Kum-Sing for a discussion embedded in truth-telling, collectivism, art and Bundjalung Country at the State Library of New South Wales on October 3 from 6 to 7pm.
The Weaving Stories from Woven Yarns discussion will explore ‘What does Blak success look like in a hyper-capitalistic world? How do we show up for each other and our community? Who decides what “truth” is?’
Kylie is a Bundjalung weaver and fibre artist, interested in reviving and pursuing traditional cultural practices that her ancestors have used over thousands of years. Kyra Kum-Sing is a Malera Bandjalan, Mitakoodi woman is both an artist and curator and has been the curator at Boomalli Aboriginal Artists Co-operative for the past four years and has curated a number of significant and acclaimed exhibitions.
Dr Bancroft currently has a stirring exhibition The Country Cries for Truth at the State Library that celebrates family and connection to Country, while exploring the complex and painful legacies of colonisation.
