Dr Bronwyn Bancroft AM, distinguished Bundjalung artist, book author/illustrator, mother and truth-telling warrior from the Northern Rivers of New South Wales, has a masterly approach to her works, and this exhibition will lead you through a passage of curiosity and reflection.
In 2021–22 Dr Bancroft completed a series of works as part of the inaugural NSW First Nations Creative Fellowship at the State Library of NSW. These works contain enlivened images of family, sacred belongings from Country and a sequence of mixed-media artworks that are a direct response to historic photographs from the State Library's JW Lindt collection.
The Country Cries for Truth is a celebration of Dr Bancroft's family and their ongoing connection to Bundjalung Country, as well as a call for them to pause and consider the devastation of colonisation for Aboriginal people, and to remember the complex and painful legacies of this history which still live in Country.
