    Event description

    Due to unforeseen circumstances, the South Eveleigh and Biennale Artist talk with Badger Bates and Matt Mewburn (scheduled for Thursday 21 April) is postponed until further notice. South Eveleigh apologises for any inconvenience. Please check southeveleigh.com for programming updates and advisement of a new date, or email us at south.eveleigh@mirvac.com to register your interest.

    Join Barkandji artist Badger Bates and blacksmith Matt Mewburn of Eveleigh Works in conversation as they share insights into their creative practices, the evolution of their collaboration and the making of a major new sculpture commissioned for the 23rd Biennale of Sydney, titled Save our Ngatji (Rainbow Serpents), creators of spiritual rivers connecting water, sky, and land (2022). Currently on display at The Cutaway at Barangaroo as part of the 23rd Biennale, the work is a powerful expression of the Ngatji (rainbow serpent) - associated with the creation of the Barka (Darling River) - reminding us of the connection that Indigenous Australians have to this country, and that any collective vision of the future must have Aboriginal people and the survival of their lands, waters and culture at its centre.
