Baanj Biik Murrenda (Water, Country, Life)

Yesterday, we celebrated the unveiling of our new First Nations Council Chamber and Civic Centre foyer artworks—a meaningful addition to our civic spaces that celebrates Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung culture, Country and community.

Created through the collaboration of mother and daughters Dr Mandy Nicholson (Cultural Mentor), Ky-ya Nicholson Ward (Lead Artist) and Dharna Nicholson-Bux (Weaver), these beautiful works share stories of connection, cultural knowledge and care for Country. All three are Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Traditional Owners and members of the Djirri Djirri Wurundjeri Women’s Dance Group.

Mundagat Baanj-Biik (Protect Water Country)
Located in the Council Chamber, this work features Gunuwarra (Black Swan) and Waang (Crow), exploring the themes of Balance and Waterways.

Mundanai Baanj-biik (Embrace Water Country)
Located in the public foyer, this work features Bunjil and celebrates Community and Country.

We invite everyone to visit the Civic Centre, spend time with these incredible artworks and take a moment to connect with the knowledge, creativity and deep connection to Country they represent.

****POSTPONED
Building-monuments: Use and Presence

In a few weeks’ time, join architect and academic Nyoah Rosmarin in a one-hour lecture about functional monuments at Incinerator Gallery followed by a viewing of Maribyrnong Park Bowls Club – both functional monuments that serve civic purpose and are emblematic of an era.

“Monuments are weird things” says Rosmarin, “we recognise the monumentality of a pyramid due to its scale, form, and historical significance. At the same time, we place plaques in rocks to mark an event of meaning, or to embed something said in matter. In both cases, monuments translate intangible memory into physical presence. This presentation focuses on building-monuments or “functional monuments” to directly explore this negotiation between use and meaning.

Saturday, 24 October
11.30am - 1.00pm
Tickets required - $15

Book via the link in bio.
