SUMMARY:Maker Space
DESCRIPTION:Head to Bathurst Regional Art Gallery (BRAG) for our Maker’s Space activities of collage and colouring for our current exhibitions!  \nMaterials and stool provided\nFREE\, self-guided session\nNo experience required\nAll ages welcome\, children must be supervised \nBRAG is open:\n10am – 5pm Tuesday through Friday\n10am – 2pm Saturday & Sunday \nAbout the Exhibitions \nWe Are Studios: Acts of Inheritance\nActs of Inheritance presents new work from seventeen Disabled artists who explore identity as something lived\, layered and continually remade. We come to know ourselves through small\, everyday acts and performances – our own and those of others\, families\, cultures and communities as they leave their mark upon us.\nSome artists revisit family stories or inherited acts; others reflect on Disability\, mental health\, and shifting perceptions of self and how we perform it. Here\, inheritance is not fixed or predetermined\, but enacted through the choices we make\, the stories we tell and the ways we show up for one another.\nThrough these works\, Acts of Inheritance invites us to imagine identity as something performed in ongoing dialogue between who we have been\, who we are becoming and the worlds that shape us. \nWe Are Studios is a 100% Disability-led\, artist-run initiative empowering Disabled Western Sydney artists to thrive.\nArtists: Aili Brenton\, Virginia Bucknell\, Ria Cirera-Cruz\, Taylah Devlin\, Holly-lee Dickson\, Georgina Evans\, Nina Frankie\, Leanne Larwood\, Timothy W. Martin\, Grazia Napoletano\, Adrienne Proud\, Rebecca Sciroli\, Kiri Smith\, Jane Thatcher\, Miah Tito-Barratt\, Jordan Valageorgiou\, Eden Young. \nCurated by We Are Studios Collective.\nThe project is supported by the New South Wales Government through Create NSW and by the Australian Government through Creative Australia\, its principal arts investment and advisory body. \nLiz Bryan: Pattern Recognition\nLiz Bryan is a visual artist and designer working across drawing\, painting\, textiles\, sculpture and digital media. Her practice is shaped by an ongoing interest in esoteric knowledge\, mythologies and ritual\, and engages with themes of womanhood\, place\, and the hidden or overlooked histories of feminine experience. Moving fluidly between art and craft\, Liz’s work also reflects on the intersections of science\, mysticism and material knowledge.\nFor Pattern Recognition at BRAG\, Liz presents a body of work that explores the microcosmic world and the underlying geometry inherent in biological structures. Informed by sacred geometry and esoteric traditions outlined in Plato’s Timaeus\, the exhibition draws on the symbolism of the five Platonic solids—earth\, water\, air\, fire and ether—as metaphors for both physical and metaphysical systems. The relationship between microcosm and macrocosm\, particularly as seen in DNA structures and natural patterning\, underpins the work.\nThrough this work Liz explores the esoteric potential of shape\, line\, colour and form. Historic textile motifs\, including ogee forms and repeating half-brick patterns\, further inform the visual language of the exhibition. Through sculptures and paintings\, Pattern Recognition reveals pattern as a connective force—linking matter\, meaning and the unseen structures that shape our world. \nBathurst Regional Art Gallery is supported by the NSW Government through Create NSW. \nBanner image credits: (Left) Timothy W.

SUMMARY:All About Women Festival - Satellite Streaming
DESCRIPTION:All About Women is one of the Sydney Opera House’s flagship festivals\, a day of talks and discussions exploring ever-evolving questions on gender\, culture and equality.   \nWatch three sessions on the big screen at the library\,  using our Bluetooth headphones.   \nProgram dates and details  \nMonday 23 March\, 12.30pm\nZadie Smith\nhosted by Michaela Kalowski  \nLiterary powerhouse and north-west London legend\, Zadie Smith unpacks our cultural chaos with both subtlety and precision. When the best ideas risk being flattened into feed-friendly takes\, she dares us to resist the comfort of simple narratives. \nBuckle up for an eye-opening conversation inspired by her latest essay collection\, Dead and Alive\, which spans politics on both sides of the Atlantic\, cinema\, galleries\, Glastonbury and the question of who gets to make art. With her trademark mix of intellect and irreverence\, Smith unpacks our culture. Expect razor-sharp insight and a reminder that in a fractious\, doomscrolling world\, curiosity is always our best line of defence.  \nMonday 30 March\, 12.30pm\nRaising Boys\nJess Hill\, Zac Seidler\, moderated by Jamila Rizvi  \nFrom Andrew Tate to algorithmic rabbit holes\, this panel will unpack the real forces shaping boys today –  and what parents can do beyond panic and blame.\nBringing up boys isn’t getting any less complicated. One minute they’re sweet\, funny little humans. The next\, they’re parroting some podcast bro who insists “patriarchy isn’t real” and “grindset” is a personality.  Shows like Adolescence and books like The Anxious Generation tapped a nerve. As toxic masculinity is loudly (and often rightly) called out\, a generation of boys is confused and ashamed –  and the algorithm is happy to lead them down dark alt-right rabbit holes. It’s part of the reason the Australian government introduced age restrictions for social media accounts\nSo how do we cut through the bro-fluencer noise to raise resilient\, emotionally literate boys?Investigative journalist Jess Hill (See What You Made Me Do) and clinical researcher and men’s mental health expert Zac Seidler unpack the cultural forces shaping boys today and how adults can guide them with compassion. \nTuesday 31 March\, 12.30pm\nInside the Epstein Files\nEmily Maitlis\, Amy Wallace\, moderated by Louise Milligan  \nThe Epstein Files are not just about one man’s crimes\, but about the systems that protected him and failed women and girls for decades. Calls for the Epstein Files to be released have dominated headlines\, fuelled presidential campaigns and instigated an Act of Congress mandating their release. Despite all that\, to date only about one per cent of the millions of documents\, photographs and other evidence collected in several federal US FBI and Department of Justice investigations have seen the light of day. \nAmerican journalist and writer Amy Wallace collaborated with Epstein survivor Virginia Roberts Giuffre on her memoir Nobody’s Girl\, published months after her death\, while British journalist Emily Maitlis famously put Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor on the record about his involvement with Epstein’s dark world. Join them for a critically important discussion that looks beyond spectacle to examine the institutions that turned a blind eye\, the lawsuits now seeking redress and what justice looks like when perpetrators evade consequences but survivors live with lasting harm.
