Opening with a Welcome to Country ceremony overseen by Elders in Residence Arweet Carolyn Briggs and Uncle Larry Walsh, the pair will be extending a special invitation to members of refugee and asylum seeker communities alongside city dwellers.
After the traditional proceedings, Wominjeka unfolds with an array of events that connect the past with the present. Call from the West: The Continuing Legacy of Mr William Cooper is as an exhibition honouring the human rights efforts of the influential Yorta Yorta leader, while Moving House from acclaimed dancer Carly Sheppard explores environment and culture through contemporary movement and installation. Rounding out the arts comes Paste Up, delving into the importance of mural painting to indigenous identity and community.
Briggs, TigerLilly and Brett Lee will take to the stage for TERRAIN before special performances from The Pigram Brothers and Bart Willloughby. Willoughby will be helming We Still Live On, a collaborative performance that builds from his work with Deline Briscoe.
