Ganbu Gulin: wudhanu yuwanguth celebrates the legacy of cultural expression and growth across the City of Darebin as new citizens join our community on Wurundjeri Country. From Woi-wurrung language meaning, “One Mob: From Many to the Next”, Ganbu Gulin is an invitation to celebrate the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in our community while forging new connections alongside those who now call Wurundjeri Country home.
A vibrant lineup of musical talent features Emma Donovan, Doe Eyes and Torres Green, with the ‘FABoriginal’ 2Joocee as our Master of Ceremonies. Ganbu Gulin also champions the voices and culture of the Wurundjeri and Aboriginal Victorians, featuring a Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony, performances by the Djirri Djirri Dancers, as well as an address from Uncle Andrew Gardiner, First Peoples’ Assembly Reserved Seat holder representing Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Cultural Heritage Aboriginal Corporation. The event will also include a native planting experience with Sustain Food Networks and kids’ activities with crowd favourite Aunty Brenda.
Ganbu Gulin: wudhanu yuwanguth is for everyone in the community – new and longstanding, and of all ages. A moment to reflect on legacy, showcase artistry through song and dance, celebrate the forging of new connections, and plant a deeper appreciation for the cultures of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, in particular the Wurundjeri of the Kulin Nation.
Held at Darebin Arts Centre in Preston (right next to Bell station), the event is FREE to attend and all are welcome.
