Louise Whelan. African Australians

Image #06 from African Australians by Louise Whelan

If you haven’t been to see this one then you are missing out! Vibrant African colour palettes, patterned with Australian suburbia and the surrounding landscape. Louise photographs her subjects confident with bold colour and style, posing proudly, identifying with both African and Australian culture. Customs House is a real Sydney gem and and one the city’s most beautiful free spaces. And you can borrow books too!

It’s now one year ago that the State Government announced it would sell off all public housing in these areas. Their poster and stencil works are provocative, political and persuasive.

Asher Milgate. Survivors. Photographs & Audio recorded Oral Histories
Until 10 May

Aunty Joyce Williams. Portrait by Asher Milgate for Survivors.

​Photographer​ Asher Milgate returns to the town he grew up in, Wellington, NSW, to document the life of the traditional owners, the Binjang people of the Wiradjuri nation. …Survivors… records stories from Wellington’s elders – and elders in waiting – about life at Nanima, the Common and on the outskirts of town. In 1832 the first inland Aboriginal mission was established in Wellington, which became the Nanima Mission in 1910. The mission became the longest continually operating Aboriginal reserve in Australia. The elders of Wellington shared with Asher some of their most intimate memories; tales of their families, of love, regret, hope and hardship.
