Make time for the Hawkesbury Regional Museum’s essential neighborhood project, Bangadyi Nawi, on Saturday, 18 November 2023 at the Museum.
Bangadyi Nawi & Museum Opening of Canoe Exhibit is inspired to take part 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 challenge has provided a transformative experience for native Aboriginal highschool college students who created a traditional canoe during 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 brand new exhibit, the canoe will form studying alternatives for the entire community.”
The Saturday event is freed from charge and can be booked online via Eventbrite: Celebration of Bangadyi Nawi and Opening of Canoe Exhibit. Light refreshments will be provided.
The Museum was also nominated recently on the IMAGinE Awards 2023 by the Museums & Galleries of NSW for its engagement program called “Bangadyi Nawi Making Making a Canoe.”
The Hawkesbury Regional Museum is located at eight Baker Street in Windsor.
