Make time for the Hawkesbury Regional Museum’s necessary community venture, Bangadyi Nawi, on Saturday, 18 November 2023 at the Museum.
Everyone is encouraged to participate in the collaborative occasion by the Museum, the Dharug Community, and the Brewongle Environmental Education Centre.
The Welcome to Country ceremony will be led by Erin Wilkins, followed by an Official Opening by Hawkesbury Councilor and Deputy Mayor Barry Calvert at 11:30 AM.
“The venture has offered a transformative experience for native Aboriginal high school students who created a conventional canoe throughout an inter-generational camp, led by Elder Uncle Dean Kelly and with Uncle David Payne and Dharug Educator Erin Wilkins,” the announcement indicated.
“As a new exhibit, the canoe will form learning alternatives for the whole group.”
The Saturday occasion is free of charge and can be booked on-line through Eventbrite: Celebration of Bangadyi Nawi and Opening of Canoe Exhibit. Light refreshments shall be offered.
The Museum was additionally nominated recently at the IMAGinE Awards 2023 by the Museums & Galleries of NSW for its engagement program referred to as “Bangadyi Nawi Making Making a Canoe.”
The Hawkesbury Regional Museum is positioned at eight Baker Street in Windsor.
