About this event

Join a guided tour of The Country Cries for Truth, a new exhibition celebrating the work of Dr Bronwyn Bancroft, with exhibition curator Cherokee Lord. This powerful and personal exhibition by distinguished Bundjalung artist Dr Bronwyn Bancroft celebrates family and connection to Country, while exploring the complex and painful legacies of colonisation.
