Referendum art exhibition
Brian Martin’s exhibition, Human Status, on display at the Wyndham Art Gallery, commemorates the 50th anniversary of the 1967 Referendum when Aboriginal Australians were finally recognised in the census and Australians voted to change the Constitution which prevented the Federal Government from making discriminatory laws against Aboriginals.
The exhibition includes 11 life-size portraits of people from Broken Hill born before the referendum, and painted by Brian Martin, who is a descendent of the Muruwari, Bundjalung and Kamilaroi peoples.
Opening night of the exhibition is Thursday 22 June at 6.30pm.
If you’re an art lover, Wyndham City provides plenty of exhibitions and inspiration. The gallery and cultural centre showcases local, national and even internationally recognised artists for a high quality, contemporary art experience.
