NAIDOC Week - Weaving & Drawing Circle at the Northern Rivers Community Gallery

A restorative, creative weaving circle with Nyangbal/Bundjalung artist Aunty Tania Marlowe and fibre artist/educator Debra Cole from Jugan Dandii, and drawing circle with exhibiting artists, Bundjalung/Dunghutti Aunty Sonya Breckenridge and Maurita Moran, in celebration of NAIDOC Week. Free to attend, this is a gentle invitation to sit, draw, weave, and have a cuppa and a yarn together in community, on the last weekend of NAIDOC week.

Local weaving collective Jugan Dandii (meaning 'Embrace The Earth') are passionate about empowering individuals and groups to gain confidence in woven arts for its creative and wellbeing potential. They have been sharing the restorative practice of natural fibre weaving, along with connection to community, country and culture across the region for over a decade.

Nanang Wabang – Big Sister Little Sister, an exhibition by Sonya Breckenridge and Maurita Moran is presented at NRCG. Centered on the creative mentorship between the two artists, the exhibition explores the artists' shared family history and enduring connections to Nyangbal Country. The works foreground ancestral ties to Cabbage Tree Island, the birthplace of both artists' families, with the works in the exhibition reflecting on layers of cultural knowledge, kinship and artistic exchange.
