Bonyi: Living Culture- Curated by Dominique Chen and Libby Harward

5th Feb - 27th March

Public opening event 12th Feb

Includes an extensive Public Program

Bonyi-Bonyi have been a foundational part of our governance and kinship since time immemorial—connecting and interweaving our far reaching nations, languages and cultures from across the country, for millennia. If you know how to look, bonyi ‘highways’ still map the landscape, showing the walking paths that brought thousands of our ancestors together for trade, ceremony, marriage, celebration and inter-sovereign politics. The bountiful and nutritious nuts, sustaining both physically and culturally, generations after generations.

Bonyi, like everything in the more-than-human world, is kin.

Exhibition by Uncle Noel Gulla Blair Curated By Libby Harward

Artist Statement

Growing up in Cherbourg, we used different sayings, our English wasn’t the best and we used to speak slang words. One word that was popular was ‘Ganan Ganan’. It was a way we used to muck around and make fun of each other, if we were ‘big noting’ or ‘showing-off’. It’s like a gunna gunna fella, we gunna do this and that and everything but it’s all talk and no action.
