🧡 We're honoured to be a tiny part of this heartening story from Wilcannia 🧡 Thanks to the Central School and St Therese's for having us 🤹🤸🎪

Schools in the outback often struggle to maintain consistent attendance rates, but the Wilcannia community is going the extra mile to get kids into the classroom.

💧🌧️ We were lucky enough to attend the Opening of “MITHeK” (Rain in Wamba Wamba) at Yarkuwa Indigenous Knowledge Centre last night 🌧️💧 It was a collection of artworks done by the brilliant young artists at the Art Shed (Kuyintyi Yuka) at , facilitated by the incredible Jo Nathan () 💧 For someone with an irrational fear of moths (I know, I can’t help it! 😂) it was challenging, but I must say the beautiful moths made by these young artists made me see them in a new light 😍 local folk, get to ASAP and see the MITHeK exhibition, as well as all the other incredible collections in their Museum 💧🌧️

Our ongoing partnership with NAISDA Dance College is all about supporting the next generation of artists to work in regional and remote NSW. It's always so rewarding and inspiring to nurture these artists so early in their career. Here's an opportunity for you to join us.

Two young Indigenous artists are seeking support to train in the UK, an opportunity that will greatly enhance their skills and cultural expression. Your contribution can help them cover travel and accommodation costs, allowing them to grow as artists and bring valuable experiences back to their communities. Consider donating or sharing this cause to help them achieve their dreams.

Hi, my name is Tameeka. I belong to the Minjungbul Bundjalung and Dh… Jorja Burgess needs your support for Support 2 Young Indigenous Artists Train In The UK

🧡 We had an absolute blast working on "Hello Coonamble" with our dear friends at Outback Arts 🧡 It was a joy to create alongside the wonderful Drew, Alira and Lena, NAISDA Dance College Practicing Artists, The Tiddas Dancers from Coonamble High School, as well as the incredible Lily Shearer from Moogahlin Performing Arts 🧡 Working with Hannie Rayson and Michael Cathcart was a joy, and seeing the community of Coonamble share their stories on the stage of The Plaza in the Outback was nothing short of magic ✨

ABC Australia will share a story of this experience on Backroads during March - so keep an eye out! In the meantime, Hannie has written this article for the Sydney Morning Herald to share a sense of our time together in Coonamble.

Transcript of the article in the comments 🧡

A night of storytelling brings out the best in an outback town.
