Yanmannyang mudayi Dharug Ngurrawa. Walama ngyini budbud dali Dharug Ngurra Dharug yiyura baranyiin barribugu.
We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of this Land, the Dharug people, and their continued connection to Country.
We pay our respects to Elders from yesterday to tomorrow.
We extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples of Blacktown City where the flannel flowers still grow proud and strong.
We will walk softly on this land and open our hearts to Country as the Dharug people have for tens of thousands of years.
Blacktown Arts and Front Up are joining forces to facilitate a series of workshops especially curated for people with disability.
In June, local artist George Tillianakis will guide participants through a series of “performance drawings” working on large scale paper. The process of making will be inspired by word association from participants’ experience of our current exhibition, Blood, Sweat and Tears: The Life and Art of Kolozsy – Sculptor.
In August, local artist Rosalind Stanley will lead a Kids Art, Sound and Movement workshop for babies and toddlers aged 2-5 years old with disability along with their families. These accessible workshops will focus on music, beginning and ending with a Hello and a Goodbye song, Reading Time as well as movement and vocal exercises and art making. Bookings will open mid-July.
In September, artists George Tillianakis, Rosalind Stanley and Rosell Flatley will join forces to lead a Movement and Sound workshop for babies and toddlers aged 2-5 years old with disability along with their families. Bookings will open mid-August.
Cost: $5 per session. Bookings essential.
