Possum skin cloaks and Indigenous art are part of the Marra Marra Badhang exhibition at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Bathurst to celebrate 2015 NAIDOC. Head of Campus Professor Jo-Anne Reid invites the community to attend the opening ceremony at 10am Monday 22 June, or visit the exhibition during the week. "NAIDOC is an important annual national event and the University is proud to celebrate it," Professor Reid said. "We are holding it early so as not to conflict with other planned NAIDOC events in July. This will be a very interesting exhibition, and I am delighted to invite the community to participate. It will commence with a 'smoking ceremony' conducted by Aboriginal Elders, and the curator of the CSU Art Collection, Mr Thomas Middlemost, will speak about Indigenous artworks in the University collection at the exhibition opening." The possum skin cloaks that have been made by Elders in Bathurst as a gift to the city for its 200th anniversary were made as part of a partnership project that commenced in November 2014 between Bathurst Regional Art Gallery, the Bathurst Wiradyuri and Community Elders, and Bamirra Arts. The 2015 NAIDOC Marra Marra Badhang exhibition at CSU in Bathurst is open from 10am Monday 22 to Friday 26 June during business hours at The Grange (building 1205) at CSU in Bathurst.
