PAGE 2 - People Like Us, We Come From T/Here
‘This exhibition is a way for me to pay acknowledgement and respect to my ancestors, to my immediate family, to Gurindji extended family and Stolen Generations’ members who have taught me so much in the decades I have been coming back home to diverse places in the Northern Territory. It is also a way to acknowledge the deep level of support I have received from non-Indigenous people who want to live together in a society that respects First Peoples’ sovereign rights.’ Brenda L. Croft
The formal opening will be on Saturday 3 November at 11am. Brenda will be present at the opening with poetry reading by Gurindji/Kungarakan elder Aunty Kathy Mills. The exhibition runs from 27 October - 10 November 2018
