SUMMARY:Exhibition Tours // ESSSENSSSE
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Tours // ESSSENSSSE \nJoin a FREE\, guided exhibition tour by BRAG staff on Saturdays at 11am!\nFree\, all welcome\, RSVP online or at gallery reception. \nBathurst Regional Art Gallery (BRAG) presents ESSSENSSSE\, a joyful work about healing and new beginnings by acclaimed contemporary artist HOSSEI (NSW)\, guest curated by Tesha Malott. \nESSSENSSSE is an aquatic ecosystem that explores the tenacity of the human spirit\, stripping away corporeal human qualities and revealing what’s underneath. ESSSENSSSE follows HOSSEI’s exploration of creating costumes that ‘heal’. Featuring a cast of 16 other-worldly sea creatures\, ESSSENSSSE transitions from a series of dynamic and joyful performances into a sensory\, large-scale installation\, in which visitors are surrounded by a playful\, 100% tactile landscape. \nESSSENSSSE began when HOSSEI became fascinated by the sand dollar sea creatures— their shape\, features\, and how in mediaeval times it was truly believed that sand dollars were mermaid currency. When looking at the sand dollar\, HOSSEI realised that if you were to remove the physical characteristics of a human body\, you would be left with a mouth and an anus\, just like the sand dollar. It is this idea that compelled HOSSEI to make the sand dollar an emblem of the show. An entry point and an exit\, not just with food\, but in the sense of discerning which energies come through and nourish the insides\, and which are let out. ESSSENSSSE is about letting go and being one with the spirit and embracing its purity and vulnerability. \nA Verge Gallery exhibition\, touring in partnership with Museums & Galleries of NSW\, supported by the University of Sydney and proudly funded by the NSW Government. Verge Gallery is supported by the University of Sydney Union. \nImage: HOSSEI\, ESSSENSSSE\, 2023. Performer Lauren Booker. Dimensions variable. Photography by Jacquie Manning.

SUMMARY:From Taboo To Zeitgeist: Menopause Is Not A Use By Date
DESCRIPTION:Bathurst Library and Central West Women’s Health Centre Present\nA 2025 Women’s Health Week Event \nFrom Taboo To Zeitgeist\nMenopause Is Not A Use By Date \nAuthor Panel Conversation 3pm – 5pm\, $5pp\nMenopause\, once a whispered topic\, is now entering mainstream through comedy\, musicals\, and\, increasingly\, literature. This shift reflects evolving societal attitudes\, but more importantly\, it prompts us to examine how these extra decades are truly being lived.\nIt’s time to discard the outdated notion that women are shelved once they move into older age. Contemporary novels are embracing life\, love\, and sexuality in later years\, proving that aging isn’t about fading away—it’s about soaring.\nAudience questions and comments are welcome to foster discussion and conversation. \nWriting Workshop 5pm – 7pm\, $5pp\nIn our increasingly isolated society\, everyone has a story to tell\, but not everyone has the confidence to share. That’s where Readers Are Writers workshops come in. Presented by all three authors\, the workshop will refer back to the conversation from the panel\, covering central themes and discussion points.\nLight refreshments will be available between the sessions.
