National Reconciliation Week

2023 Events

National Reconciliation Week (NRW) is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia.

 

The dates for NRW are the same each year; 27 May to 3 June.

 

Every year workplaces, schools, early learning services, community groups, reconciliation groups, and people right across the country host a whole range of activities.

Lucy Simpson: Baayangalibiyaay

24 May @ 10:00 am - 16 July @ 4:00 pm GMT

As part of the 2023 Exhibition Program, Canberra Glassworks presents Lucy Simpson’s Baayangalibiyaay, a collection of work acknowledging Country with pieces created in collaboration with and supported by Canberra Glassworks, Bundanon, Powerhouse Museum, Institute of Modern Art and the Australian Design Centre.

Yuwaalaraay wirringgaa Lucy Simpson is Creative Director and Principal Designer/Maker behind Gaawaa Miyay, a First Nations design studio inspired by country, relationships and notions of continuity and exchange. This exhibition is a story of materiality and memory which looks to the glassmaking process to record, absorb, reflect and transform its body as a means by which to translate great periods of upheaval and environmental crisis across river landscapes.

Canberra Glassworks is open WEDNESDAY – SUNDAY 10am to 4pm

We pay our respects to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures; and to Elders past, present and emerging.
