ART ON THE MOVE

'The Strelley Mob' is now open Katanning Library & Gallery!

Katanning community members joined Curator Barbara Hale, Artist & Educator Rose Murray, and Co-curator Darren Jorgensen, for the launch over the weekend, with a special welcome to country by Garry Ryder.

Bringing together animation, historical archives, and rarely seen illustrations, 'The Strelley Mob' shares the story and enduring legacy of the 1946 Pilbara Strike, inviting audiences to learn about this powerful chapter of Aboriginal self-determination.

Translated by Rose, Barbara shared in Nyangumarta "Our old people came from the desert. They were not the first. They went to the station and then the tin mining camp at Moolyella. At the stations the mob were given rations like tea, sugar, and some clothes. After a while our people had meetings and said "We are going on strike". At that time Clancy, Dooly and Don McLeod were the leaders. Clancy and Dooley went to all the stations and told the mob, "We are going on strike on the 1st of May 1946". They said, "Mark this calendar". They did go on strike for better conditions".

A huge thank you to Corry Why and her team for hosting us and all their work behind the scenes!

Penny Bovell and Gabby Howlett's exhibition 'Underneath/Overlooked' is an ode to the art of terrazzo and the Scolaro family, founders of Walyalup Fremantle's historic Universal Tile Factory.

In this video, we look back at the very first time the exhibition took place at Moores Building Art Space.
