Bennelong's River to Darug Insights in August
Bennelong’s River to Darug Insights explores the artery of the Parramatta River, from Memel (Goat Island) to Parramatta, as it twists like the burra (eel) that gives the river its name. The exhibition evokes the presence of the Aboriginal people of three clans (gal) – Wallumedegal, Wangal and Burramattagal – whose lives revolved around its waters.
This exhibition is held at joint venues: Macquarie University Art Gallery; and Macquarie University Library Exhibition Space.
Everyone is invited to three events coming up at the Art Gallery, Building E11A:
* Wednesday 6 August at 1pm: Lunchtime talk with curator and historian Keith Vincent Smith.
* Tuesday 12 August at 1pm: Lunchtime talk with Darug artist Leanne Tobin, who invites us into the life of Granny Lock.
