Hi there,
Research, content development and design are chugging along rapidly. We’ve recently had some interesting feedback from our audience evaluation process, which is informing how we approach the new exhibition, and we continue to narrow down object and image selection from the huge array of wonderful historic and contemporary cultural material to choose from.
We wanted to highlight a few events coming up this weekend that we’re really excited about. Tonight is the Melbourne opening of the 2011 Message Sticks Indigenous Film Festival, being launched with the screening of Beck Cole’s recent release, ‘Here I Am.’ Bunjilaka is proud to be involved in bringing this festival to Melbourne, and we’re all going to be hanging around the cinema this weekend, so check out the Message Sticks website to find out what other films are being toured nationally this year, and come along! All films are free!

Of course this weekend is also The Long Walk, coinciding with the AFL’s Indigenous round. You can check it out here:

Hope to see you at one (or all) of these events,
