Make time for the Hawkesbury Regional Museum’s essential group project, Bangadyi Nawi, on Saturday, 18 November 2023 at the Museum.

Everyone is encouraged to participate 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, adopted by an Official Opening by Hawkesbury Councilor and Deputy Mayor Barry Calvert at 11:30 AM.

“The challenge has supplied a transformative experience for local Aboriginal highschool students who created a conventional canoe during 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 new exhibit, the canoe will shape learning alternatives for the entire community.”

The Saturday event is freed from charge and may be booked on-line by way of Eventbrite: Celebration of Bangadyi Nawi and Opening of Canoe Exhibit. Light refreshments might be offered.

The Museum was also nominated just lately on the IMAGinE Awards 2023 by the Museums & Galleries of NSW for its engagement program known as “Bangadyi Nawi Making Making a Canoe.”

Bangadyi Nawi & Museum Opening of Canoe Exhibit is positioned at eight Baker Street in Windsor.
