Make time for the Hawkesbury Regional Museum’s necessary group challenge, Bangadyi Nawi, on Saturday, 18 November 2023 on the Museum.
Everyone is encouraged to take part in the collaborative occasion by the Museum, the Dharug Community, and the Brewongle Environmental Education Centre.
The Welcome to Country ceremony shall 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 local Aboriginal highschool college students who created a traditional 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 brand new exhibit, the canoe will form learning opportunities for the entire neighborhood.”
The Saturday event is freed from cost and can be booked online via Eventbrite: Celebration of Bangadyi Nawi and Opening of Canoe Exhibit. Light refreshments shall be provided.
Bangadyi Nawi & Museum Opening of Canoe Exhibit was also nominated just lately on 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 8 Baker Street in Windsor.
