The Merriwa Gallery is proud to represent this exhibition opening on the 26 August .
Tash and Roz are sisters who are proud descendants of the Gomeroi people, who have grown up on Wonnarua Country and are active members of their community.
Roz and Tash share that the exhibition is called ‘Our First Teachers’ as knowledge is passed down by our ancestors and is also embedded in our veins as blood memory. It is also about
truth-telling and understanding our shared history is a vital stage towards healing our future.
Most of the work to be displayed has been hand crafted by Tash such as the stone tools, naturally tanned animal skins, bush medicines, wooden tools and a Gunyah (hut/ shelter). Roz creates woven baskets, rope and jewellery using traditional and contemporary materials.
Dates: 26 August to the 8 September 2022
Venue: Merriwa Gallery, 133 Bettington St, Merriwa
