First Fridays: Open Hands, Open Minds

Tarnanthi 2020 honours the ongoing and often unseen work of aboriginal women in communities to maintain culture. Keeping these stories alive and sharing knowledge is deeply embedded in everyday cultural life across Australia. Join us this First Friday to learn more about Tarnanthi: Open Hands on a tour of the exhibition. Take part in a Weaving & Wine workshop then sit back and enjoy some alternative folk rock music by The Yorke Band.
