Garnkiny: Constellations of Meaning
This exhibition will include works by Gija artists, both past and present, which explore aspects of the rich and significant story Garnkiny…
Garnkiny – Constellations of Meaning – curator talk
Anna Crane, co-curator of Garnkiny: Constellations of Meaning, examines how the works in this exhibition explore the rich and significant story Garnkiny Ngarranggarni (Moon Dreaming). This talk explores some ideas about how Dreaming stories work as ways of being, sharing, teaching, regulating and creating in Gija society and by extension in cross- cultural encounters in Australia to which stories have become central. Anna Crane has worked with Gija people on language and culture projects since 2005. She is joined by linguist Frances Kofod.
