Country Knows My Name
Wednesday 1 July 2026 - Sunday 26 July 2026
Country Knows My Name is an exhibition that explores the strong connection between identity, memory, and place. Each work reflects a deep relationship with Ngarigo Country, expressed through colour, line, and movement. The artworks honour culture, ancestors, and the knowledge held in the land. Blending contemporary practice with tradition, they speak of belonging, strength, and continuity.
