Join us for this workshop for school teachers designed for our current exhibition Creatures: Ochred, Pokered, Carved and Twined.

Presented by visual arts educator Erin Knight and LWAG Curator of Academic and Public programs Dr Janice Lally, the workshop will address themes from the exhibition in context of HASS and Visual Arts curricula priorities in the WA SCSA.

Creatures: Ochred, Pokered, Carved & Twined

Creatures: Ochred, Pokered, Carved and Twined delves into the depths of the Berndt Museum of Anthropology’s object collection, illuminating a diverse menagerie of animal representations from across Indigenous Australia. The exhibition showcases over 100 years of creation practices by Indigenous Australian peoples, for whom the creatures of the land, water and sky were, are, and forever will be, deeply ingrained in their culture and beliefs.

Presented by the Berndt Museum of Anthropology.

Please note: due to Covid-19 safety precautions, registration is essential for this event and space is limited.
