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 take part in the collaborative event by the Museum, the Dharug Community, and the Brewongle Environmental Education Centre.

The Welcome to Country ceremony might be led by Erin Wilkins, followed by an Official Opening by Hawkesbury Councilor and Deputy Mayor Barry Calvert at eleven:30 AM.

“The challenge has supplied a transformative expertise for local Aboriginal highschool students who created a standard 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 brand new exhibit, the canoe will form studying opportunities for the entire community.”

The Saturday occasion is free of charge and can be booked on-line through Eventbrite: Celebration of Bangadyi Nawi and Opening of Canoe Exhibit. Light refreshments shall be offered.

Bangadyi Nawi & Museum Opening of Canoe Exhibit  was also nominated lately at the IMAGinE Awards 2023 by the Museums & Galleries of NSW for its engagement program referred to as “Bangadyi Nawi Making Making a Canoe.”

The Hawkesbury Regional Museum is positioned at eight Baker Street in Windsor.
