Baajim is magic in Gumbaynggirr language, and this powerful new exhibition by Gumbaynggirr artist Lilly Clegg celebrates the beauty of nature and explores a sense of knowing that there is far more happening in this world than what meets the eye. Lilly is a visual artist, weaver, sculptor, ceramicist and cultural educator whose creative practice is grounded in nature and connection, and her vibrant inaugural solo exhibition reflects this journey of exploration in its diversity. After a youth spent between her mother's mob in the Clarence Valley and a commune in Mullumbimby, Lillys' contemporary art practice has developed into a psychedelic translation of cultural experience, rich with mystical and astrological symbology.

Through Baajim, you are invited to experience a world shaped by ancestral wisdom, creativity, and connection. Each artwork carries layers of meaning, a celebration of identity, Country and the living spirit of Gumbaynggirr culture. Baajim is more than an exhibition; it is an invitation to connect, learn and experience the magic and mystery of an unseen world.

The exhibition will open at Wadjar Regional Indigenous Gallery. Refreshments provided. Please RSVP via Facebook, Humanitix or the website for catering purposes.
