19.01.2022 OUR NGURRA - Photography Exhibition Over the course of nine months, a group of young people from Roebourne have been working with Ngarluma & Yindjibarndi Man Clinton Walker and Big hART on Banthunguru-bura (The Next Generation) a youth-focused, leadership development program. The trips have provided an opportunity for young people to see their Country from a new perspective, taking time and care to document significant places, moments, and people through the lens of a camera.... To mark an important milestone in the program, the participants have chosen to share a series of photographs, each holding a personal significance to the photographer. Please join us to celebrate the opening of this exhibition - 5pm, June 4 at the Cossack Gallery. Free Entry, Food, and Drink provided. The exhibition remains open through to Sunday, June 27
