Bundanon has unveiled bagan bariwariganyan: echoes of country, an exhibition of new works created by Walbunja/Ngarigo artist Aunty Cheryl Davison, Gweagal/Wandiwandian artist Aunty Julie Freeman, and Wiradyuri/Kamilaroi artist Jonathan Jones, open until 9 February 2025.

Celebrating South Coast stories and upholding local Aboriginal values and kinships, this major collaboration between the renowned First Nations artists features a large-scale architectural gunyah structure made from Bundanon’s Turpentine (Syncarpia glomulifera) trees, a 75-metre-long mural tracking the coastline from Sydney to just over the Victorian border, a suite of paintings, and ambitious large-scale screenprints. The season also includes drawings by nineteenth century Yuin artist Mickey of Ulladulla, loaned from key collections across Australia, providing a historical anchor point for the new commissions and connecting South Coast narratives from past to present.
